I sacrificed the old TFI to make it a simple connector to the distributor from which r wires came out to the TFI module placed next to and under the air filter. In the future if the TFI module plays up I can swap it in 3 minutes. |

Wow, what an encyclopedia of falcon solutions. I wonder if this guy still own an old Ford.
His remote TFI solution slightly differs from mine. I did not want to extend the TFI connector so I placed the module on an aluminium plate attached to a bracket below the air filter housing. I have space on this plate for a fitting the ignition coil. If my current problems are due to the coil I will now move it to this plate. As you know Ford spent many months designing the EA Ed falcons so that most replaceable components are be as unreachable as possible. Probably a way to give their servicing network lots of work. One has to see an old VW or a Fiat to understand how clever engineers can be in making sure almost all maintenance can be done in your garage with a handful of tools |
