if the tfi is dead you usually will have no spark from anything..

I have a spare TFI and Coil in the Wagon.

Will need to work out when I can visit, or when you can drop by and borrow.

Oh, and I have never done a TFI, I assume that is dizzy out?

Not necessary to remove the dizzy.

You can undo the locating bolt and bracket, and then rotate the dizzy around to provide access to the two phillips head screws and remove the TFI while the dizzy is in the car.

I should be finishing at either 3 or 4pm tomorrow and could drive straight out to you.

4.0L Engine Revision
As of January 1998, EL Falcon will be fitted with a revised I6 engine. The revision will be completely transparent as far as the Customer is concerned (no change to engine appearance, power output fuel economy, service requirements, etc). It will also be transparent to you as far as basic engine maintenance and diagnostic procedures are concerned.
However, where internal engine repairs are to be performed, it is important that the Technician realises the difference and is aware of the unique engine re-assembly procedures and specifications.
Interchangeability of parts between the old and the new level engines is not possible except where replacement part numbers are unchanged. Do not attempt to fit new level parts to the new engine, or vice versa.
Vehicle Identification
There will be a period during January 1998 when both the old and the new level engines will be used at the Assembly plant. Thus the vehicle build date may not necessarily identify the level of engine fitted to the vehicle.
Old level engines can be identified by a 95DA of 95DT casting on the cylinder head and a 96DA casting on the engine block.
New level engines can be identified by a 96DA or 96DT casting on the cylinder head and a VR2A casting on the engine block.
Note: Approximately 1,600 of these new engines will have the old level head and valvetrain fitted. The same idetification method may be used to individually identify new/old level heads.
Generally speaking, the engine dissassembly/assembly procedures are unchanged. The main difference is the size and shape of various internal components. It is important that only new level components are used as replacement parts as in many cases the old level parts will not fit or will lead to the failure of other components.
With respect to major engine repairs, the main points that you will need to keep in mind are:
-revised hardware tightening torque specifications (some components are now ‘torque to yield’).
-revised bolt tightening sequences.
-revised camshaft-to-crankshaft timing procedure.
Lash Adjuster Removal
The procedure for lash adjuster removal is unchanged. However the retaining ring has been deleted so that the piston may separate from the main body during removal if care is not taken. It is still recommended that the lash adjuster not be dismantled.

-Crankshaft Main Bearing Caps
-Main Bearings
-Con Rod Nuts & Bolts (WR2A stamped on bolt) – torque to yield
-Flywheel Bolts (auto trans only)
-Cylinder Head (identified by 96DA or 96DT casting insted of 94DA or 95DT)
-Camshaft
-Camshaft Sprocket
-Camshaft Sprocket Bolt (black finish)
-Inlet and Exhaust Valves, Guides, Springs and Stem Seals
-Rocker Arms and Washers

-Camshaft & Idler Sprocket Bolts : 20Nm, then rotate an additional 40 degrees.

Ah, yup I know that This one has another film on the windows, not very dark but it is there......
