    What we are seeing, original modules that came on the cars from new are most reliable.
    If you move a module that was previously shutting down to a heat sink n works fine, connection was likely your original problem (either TFI to dist or harness to TFI).
    Oddly, while most never have a problem, ones that do, once they eat one are way more prone to see another failure.
    Electronics that come on aftermarket distributors, most unreliable of the bunch. So bad, some don't work from the minute you drop the dist in.

    I see that as yet another plus. Can't afford a Fox.

    Does it say where it's made?

    When I took the front cover off my original TFI years ago the electronics were covered in some clear silicone/gel material that you could see right through.
    I'm pretty sure,it's been awhile.

    Unfortunately no stamping on the part or the package to declare its origin.

    I found this article if anyone is still reading up on this..
    https://www.carthrottle.com/post/nr4663d/

    also, If I'm gonna go the relocation route... whats peoples opinions on these two kits?

    http://www.mccullyracingmotors.com/i...s/Page2271.htm
    and
    http://fatfoxx.com/products.php ...KIT 423706A

    Im leaning toward the Mccully racing kit, even though its big $$$... it just looks like the easiest instal for me. (I live In a condo and gotta do the mods in the underground...ugh!)

    ....most of you seem to be commenting on stock Ford TFI/Distributers... I have a MSD dizzy... will a Ford TFI hook up into an MSD?? Is there any "performance" TFI's out there worth looking into if Im gonna be spending the money anyways??
