TFI Recall info

Basically if you have under 100K miles you will get a new TFI module, maybe a re-location kit to get it off the distributor.

If I get a MSD unit this bypasses the TFI?? If I use a MSD in a HEI this bypasses the HEI module, same for Ford???

I have 110K so tough luck for me http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif

MSD's for Ford TFI systems are painfully easy to do. They basically go between the stock ignition coil harness and the coil itself. So instead of:

Coil harness -- coil

It'll go:

Coil harness -- MSD box -- coil

I heard something a few months back about a California judge finding Ford at fault for the modules. As many times as people claim they fail, they've never directly contributed to an accident (or so the case said). 95% of the time the TFI modules fail is because of bad plug wires plus no heatsink compound on the back of them. It's that simple.

100k miles is the cutoff? OMG, they stopped using those things how long ago, and now there's almost no vehicles left under 100k with them. Then again, can we b!tch that much? We're talking about a $30 part.
