Vinny that is the first thing i said. As far a aftermarket stuff it is . All these high output coils SUCK and that is why i use original ford stuff. With this is your TFI remote?? And does it have a giant heat sink. better do that along with a FORD COIL. Hope this fixes your issue Good luck Tom

X2 on the heat sink and remote mounting.

I'd get a Ford piece, or else Wells if they do make 'em for FoMoCo.

Good luck with her...you must be half bald from pulling your hair out over the matter..

My TFI is not a remote unit, although I have one on the shelf. Not sure how to convert it.....

After everything else I've had to do lately, I am not sure I can even afford a Motorcraft coil. Those are not cheap. My funds do NOT come from my paycheck, and no cheating is allowed. I can score a TFI from Motorcraft or Wells, but the coil....gotta come up with something else. I'll double check Ebay.

I have a remote heat sink from a '95 Mustang GT....just don't know how to get it from the distributor to the heat sink and make it work.

Vinny it is a snap a few wires and you are dun. I also use one of the existing mounting holes to strain relieve the wiring harness i build for the conversion. It is like 3 wires at best. If memory serves me a late model dizzy and arness is a plug and play.

I see it, although I had to click the "show full version" link. Or try this.

Nope. Not for me. I've said it before and I'm saying it again....I do NOT do electrical diagrams. Something about them do not click for me.

Looks like I'm staying with the TFI on the distributor. No hablo electrical stuff like that.

As Tom said get some Motorcraft ignition parts. They are the best. The aftermarket stuff really is  compared to the Motorcraft stuff.

Vinny i know you are not an electric DUDE. But why do you think Ford remote mounted it from the factory on later cars.

Ford mounted them away from the distributor due to heat issues.......Now notice the first three words I typed...."Ford Mounted them"....Vinnie doesn't do electrical diagrams. Not a big secret. I'm a step by step, have to have it explained like I'm 4 years old, kind of electrical person.

I bought the heat sink version from the '95 Stang because I wanted to do it like that on my car. But after seeing the diagram.....I said it isn't going to happen. It's not three wires and you're done.
