I'm using a wasted spark coil pack, distributorless ignition. The MSII/Extra ECU controls the ignition directly, and does not need an EDIS module.
It works really well, and you gain an amazing amount of control over the ignition. It's very easy to program the ECU to control the ignition like no distributor can. I used wasted spark because it's very efficient and relativly inexpensive. It also adds a slightly different exhaust note.
Of course, without a distributor, you need something to drive the oil pump. I had an old distributor lying around that I took apart.
