TFI Recommend

[gstuartw]

Hello

Some of you might have read my post Fuel starved '88 B2? and are aware of my current project on my manual transmission '88 B2 XLT.

I am will soon be in the process of installing a remote TFI kit and will be purchasing a new TFI. I would like advice form other B@ owners on the following if you don't mind:

What brand have you used other than OEM? What model? Are you happy with your choice?
Is there difference in TFI for a manual transmission versus an automatic? What about 4 speed versus 5 speed?

(The reason I ask about transmission type is I input my vehicle information on Amazon and they suggest that one choice is the Accel 35368 is a fit for my vehicle but the description includes A/T. The Accel 35369 is labeled with M/T but stated as not a fit for my vehicle. The information I listed was 1988 Ford Bronco II with 5 speed transmission. Thoughts?

Thanks

Stuart

Transmission doesn't matter. How are you modifying the wiring? That foil shield is important, the ignition high voltage wires can interfere with the small signals going to the TFI.

Here's a article on it. https://www.therangerstation.com/tech/remote-mounted-tfi-ignition-module/

Thanks for your reply. I'm curious as to why Accel chose to identify their products as A/T or M/T. Go figure. By the way the manufacturer of the relo kit recommended the M/T version of the Acell. Not making judgments.

Her is the McCully Racing Motors kit I chose to splurge on. I wanted simplicity in installation as I have limited time in my garage to do this sort of work and my tools are in a storage unit anticipating a moving company. Some may raise their eyebrows at the cost but you have to admit this seems to be a well made product with plenty of experience behind the manufacture and refinement. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks
