TFI question

I just found the ACCEL TFI I bought a while back for my SVO that I never used. On the ACCEL site it lists 2 of them. One says 83-96 and the other 84-93. Being my TC is an '88, I'm not sure I have the right one. The one I have has the 3 prongs sticking out of it in addition to the plug. I haven't had a chance to take mine apart yet, but does the '88 use the one with the 3 prongs or the one without them? Thanks... Chuck

Good. Another question... How does it fit into a relocator heatsink with the prongs sticking out?

You have to grind down 5 of the fins. See link below.

Where can I get a new pip from? May as well do it all. I just hope the ACCEL TFI is up to par.

Thanks for the replys. I'm going to put the ACCEL in for now (hope it works) and order the motorcraft parts and do a relocate in the near future. Thanks again... Chuck
