tfi module ? Reply #4 – July 26, 2008, 05:29:41 PM Yeah just pull the distributer out of the engine in the XR7 and stick it in the HO. That's what I did with mine. Plus I'm still running the 20 year old factory original TFI :wtf: I know it's original because I have all of the repair reciepts from when the car was new until now and it has never been changed. Must be some kind of record or something....... Quote Selected

tfi module ? Reply #8 – July 27, 2008, 10:17:15 AM Its kinda like this All the V8's with a Dizzy mounted TFI take the same part number. Borg Warner CBE24. Most of even the 4 bangers take the CBE24 TFI. The difference comes in when it is for a 6 or remote mounted unit. As for how long they last it is all about how much heat you put them trough. I've been running a Motorcraft since my last on went south. I remote mounted it behind the grill. I can say the one I replaced was a parts store cheapy. Quote Selected
tfi module ? Reply #9 – July 28, 2008, 08:59:22 AM motorcraft has about 8 #'s for the mustang ,tbird and cougar, some even different for manual or auto on the5.0 wonder whats the big difference? Quote Selected
tfi module ? Reply #10 – July 30, 2008, 06:57:57 PM the guy at the ford dealer told me the only difference between them is the temp. the unit itself runs at. hopefully someone a bit more credible can shed some light on whether thats true or not?what id like to know if there is a better one, or any other one to use on my v6, being how expensive it is and all:punchballs: (id like the one that doesnt say "made in hong kong" on it :P)the only reason i bothered to ask them was when i went there yesterday to find out how much one was going to cost me(along with a PIP thingy).

tfi module ? Reply #11 – July 30, 2008, 07:11:56 PM There is no more borg and warner,standard bought them out.they list a exspensive one and a cheaper one in there line.I don't know why they carry a cheap line,but its roughly $80 cheaper. Quote Selected
tfi module ? Reply #12 – July 30, 2008, 09:58:32 PM Yep borg warner and Standard are the same parts. I'll tell you why they offer 2 grades of parts. I used to rebox parts from other brands to Borg Warner then they have there Select line. Well for me to put it in a box I got an interchange list "x brand #" = This Borg Warner #. I could slap any brand they told me into a regular Borg Warner box but if it was something that was headed for a Select Box it had to be sent off the Borg Warner and checked to see if it holds up to there test. That has got to be better than regular joe taking it from one box and putting it in there box. I've pulled parts out of the box in front of customers before and it says NAPA Echlin on it. That doesn't look to hot when you aren't a NAPA! Not that Napa parts are bad but if your store Y and your part say store X on it that kinda make you say HHHHUUUUMMMMMMM! I does look nice when I pull the part out and is says motorcraft on it. When Borg if running low and needs parts they talk with OEM and buy parts from them. Quote Selected
