TFI

    Even FORD can come up with a not so better idea.  Mounting the TFI (Thick Film Ignition) electronic module on the side of a physically hot Distributor, when many cars now go well over 100 k miles is not so hot a idea.   

    Even tho the Ford's TFI unit may be very good, anything can go bad.  Then it can get badder,  if one installs a non Ford aftermarket TFI.   

     So, about 1987, some V6 T-Birds had the TFI mounted on a aluminum heat sink plate in front of the radiator.    This is the harness that I used.

       A newer V8 distributor is needed that has a "pig-tailed" connector.  The 94-95 5.0 Mustang  & some Lincoln's have this.

      For the wiring schematic, I used a 88 Lincoln Continental.

     More details to follow.
