Working with a 1969 F100 with a 240/300 6cyl in it. Has anyone wired in the later model Ford TFI distributor and ignition module from around 1987-1991 I have one from a 1990 model I would like to use. Running on points now , only issue is finding good quality points and condensers. have bought and ran Pertronix both went out in less than a year, and left me stranded with no of the shelf parts available. I checked all the installation requirements with pertronix , it was wired correctly. I have the parts I need from a truck we scrapped and would like to use then if possible. this way I have the benefit of electronic ignition and off the shelf parts. I am not and electrical guy. I know enough to be dangerous most of the time.
thanks for the help in advance.

Can't help with the wiring, but I've had good luck finding NOS points/condensers or aftermarket made in USA points/condensers on eBay for pretty cheap. They work way better than anything I've gotten from the auto houses.

Re: Ford TFI ingnition conversion
Was that TFI setup from a fuel injected or carbureted truck? Did you see my post on the Duraspark in your other thread?http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... =3&t=83124. There appears to be considerable visible difference in the '91 distributor and module. I have my concerns that the distributor even has the correct cam gear.

Re: Ford TFI ingnition conversion
Sargentrs, yes I saw the duraspark post. I would be happy with those parts, aside from the fact that I already have the TFI setup and I am a cheap skate. I may have to go that route. The TFI setup I have is off of a fuel injected truck. I have not researched the physical fit of the distributor or the cam gears. I will do that. thanks for the direction.

Re: Ford TFI ingnition conversion
Should've grabbed the whole EFI setup! That would be way cool. Let us know what you find out about that distributor and ignition. Inquiring minds wanna know.
