This is one area I haven't really learned much about so if some one can either point me to the right info or can help explain this, its much appreciated! I have a 1990 GT with a 331 stroker, ported heads, custom cam, full exhaust and all the supporting stuff. It has the stock ignition system. So obviously the ignition system provides spark to the spark plugs. The coil sits on the drivers side strut tower, and sends a current to the distributor cap. As the rotor turns, the circuit completes at the correct time, and the spark plug fires, and walla! combustion!
So what does the TFI module do (and what does Thin Film Ignition mean?)?
Also what benefit is there to getting a new aftermarket coil?
What are the MSD ignition boxes for? These don't replace the coils, so what is their function?
The reason I am asking these questions, is I'd like to move the coil off the strut tower, since I want to install my line lock there, and was wondering if any of the aftermarket stuff might help me accomplish that.
Thanks
