My '79 TC had starting issues in cold/damp weather last year. After replacing the cap and rotor, there were no more issues. That being said, all the other tune-up related items have been replaced within the past two years, which certainly helps!'79 Continental Town Car

That is a waste of money in my own opinion. I don't see how that could work any better than a stock TFI distributor. It has a TFI module, and a pick up. I bet the only upgrade it has is a brass cap and rotor. Which you can get at autozone for cheap. That really won't do anything for better spark, in fact it would be the same. You're paying for a name. You want upgrades, do a coil...Originally posted by zoomie View PostComment

holy shit! $174 for a distributor? I could new pistons for that money!Comment

No need to upgrade to a dist. like that unless you plan to do alot of racing. A reman. distributor will be fine. An MSD box to control your current distributor would be a better investment.
But, an MSD distributor is manufactured to closer tolerances. You have a billet shaft, a better alloy driven shaft, etc. That translates to more accurate spark. However, OEM stuff, and even a properly remanufactured distributor is perfectly fine for even a pretty hot build.
I was going to use an MSD dist. in my car, but decided the $240 (steel gear, no vac advance) was too much, for too little. Plus it would ruin my plans to keep the engine looking pretty stock. But when I build an engine for this car, its definitely going to get an MSD dist.**2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302: 5.0/ 6 spd/ 3.73s, 20K Cruiser

The only crankshaft position sensor I know of is in the distributor, but it's not called that. PIP and it's a signal from the TFI module to the computer. If it doesn't see this, there's no fuel delivery. Now this could be caused by a dead TFI module, a dead pickup, or both.Comment

CFI has one though, doesn't it? I thought one of the oddball engines (CFI or 5.8) had a CKP.

Yes EEC-III CFI cars have a CKP sensor. It's located on the timing pointer. But that's not the case here.Originally posted by 91waggin View PostComment

Gotcha. I knew I'd read about it somewhere.
