86 12 Brutus Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 Will have more. This first one is a module that will turn the headlights on when the trucks ignition is in run and the wiper is in high or low or delay. It will not turn on the lights if the ignition is in accessories. I will have pics of the modules installed in the truck
86 12 Brutus Posted August 6, 2020 Author Posted August 6, 2020 Dome light delay. After the driver door is closed the inside lights will stay lit for about 30 seconds. If the engine is started or the key is turned to accessories, the delay is canceled. This only works on the driver door.
86 12 Brutus Posted August 6, 2020 Author Posted August 6, 2020 Digital speedometer removed form an 80's Lincoln town car. Original instrument cluster from the truck is put in a box and stored away. Got a second one online The first pic is the back, before any mods were done, then the second is after the mod

old55pete Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 TFI module relocation The box next to it turns the windshield wipers on for 4 swipes when the washer button is pressed Nice work indeed! If you could, I would like more information on the remoted TFI as mine is still on the distributer and has failed a few times in the most inopertune times...........so much so that I carry a spare in the glove box along with the tool.

Steve, you always cary a spare anyway, didnt duraspark teach us that in the 70's A tfi module has alot of electronics in it and they get hot, heat is electronics enemy. So what does ford do? Listen to Mazda and put on the hottest part of the engine other then the exhaust. While i made my own. I gutted a tfi module and soldered wires to each pin and then ran wires to a heat sink that had the tfi module mounted on it. I made the connector on the tfi module out of pc7. I just took terminals and stuck them in pc7 and then filed it down so it looked nicier and it fit. they do have relocation harness's on the internet with everything you need. and we will be buying another tfi module to keep in the gloove box so you can just plug it in should this remote tfi module fail ( probably in 3 lanes of traffic with 18 wheelers going by 75 mph) so at least you have plug and play to get you home. Although i dont forsee any issues really, it runs very cool on the heat sink. and these modules were built to withstand alot of heat, but not a distributer for goodness sake. here is a link for a relocation kit make sure you get the right one, some tfi modules have only 1 connector others have 2. http://www.mccullyracingmotors.com/index_files/tfikits.htm if you need any other help, feel free to ask

I've been around McCully before. Stuffing a 5.0 in a Miata makes an animal little gymkana or hill climb car. Fat Foxx also makes relocation kits with heatsink. They also sell 3G wiring.

They are radio shack boxes way back when we used to just pick them up whenever we'd be there, always have a use for them. Man i miss radio shack. There's another one under the hood
