Well did the XR4Ti's have the TFI in a heatsink on the fenderwell????Why not do it to all cars like that?Or is that because the European division of Ford figured that out on there own??

I saw that after I read this post(surfed Ebay). How does it work. I'd love to relocate mine but I don't know how.Plus I work for Ford. Maybe my 87 TC falls under this catagory.

man, its one thing after another, threatening to burn/crush me alive with this car!
i dunno how it works, mine is still in the stock location, but it looks like a simple 'extension cord' type thingy...

Remove stock TFI, cut connector off wires, splice one end of extra wires to the originals, splice the other end to the end of the pigtail wires that come with the relocation kit, mount the relocation block to your fenderwell away from heat and in the airstream, plug in your TFI, done!

interesting, add that mod to the ever growing list.

btw is that heatsink deal on the ebay auction from a stock xr4ti? if so i will find one in a junkyard and get the pigtail from rockauto or something and make my own kit.

You can find those heatsinks in all kinds of cars.

For those that have done the TFI relocation with heatsink I have the following questions.
There are two (actually 4, but we need only be concerned with the two gray ones) TFIs, one for distributor mounting, one for remote mounting. The distributor mount has a 3 prong plug on the side to connect to the distributor PIP, providing PIP signal, power, and ground. The TFI intended for remote mount doesn't have the 3 prong plug.
One way to use the remote heat sink would be to grind off the heatsink fins where the 3 prongs are and run wiring back to the distributor from the 3 prongs. Sort of tacky though.
I would like know if anyone has used the remote mount TFI with our distributor. Is the PIP signal modified in any way by the TFI? It seems to me the 3 lines, PIP, run power and ground could be spliced from wiring harness close to the dizzy. The remote mount cars are set up sort of like that.
