its a special bit. you need to go to your parts store and tell them you need a tool for a ford TFI module. They will point you right to it.

What you need is a 5.5mm Deep Thin Wall ¼” drive socket.

The TFI module mounted on the distributor is usually the culprit for a high speed miss on a warm engine. If the problem does not occur when the engine is cold, the TFI module is definitely suspect. You may need a special socket to remove the TFI module, but most auto parts stores will have one for $5-$7.

Be sure to use plenty of the heat sink grease on the new TFI and clean the old grease off the distributor.
