I've got an '88 2x4 Lariat XLT with a 302. I'm tired of changing the distributor mounted ICM. I've got a heat sink and module from a T-Bird (don't know the year) and have mounted the heatsink behind the grill. Here's the first question. The dizzy mounted ICM has three prongs that go into the dizzy housing, the heat sink mounted one doesn't. Do I have to change the dizzy to match the heat sink module, or does the heat sink module compensate for these prongs? Second question. When I splice the wires, are the positions the same for both modules? Third. Some of the wires are wrapped with foil tape, will I have to rewrap my new harness with the same stuff (it has a wire mesh in it. For RFI?)? Thanks in advance.

 

Have you changed the stator inside the distributor? Are you getting your parts from Advance or AutoZone? It is worth the extra money to get some things from a dealer. How long did the original last? Chances are the factory replacement will last longer.

I think I'll go that way the next time it craps out. What the hey, nothing to lose.
