Hey guys, needed some help with my Tac. I recently had put in a new starter because of how awful the stock ones are... After that I drove the car for about 50 miles and the car wouldn't turn on again. I upgraded the distributor and starter solenoid and now runs just fine. Only problem is my Tac isn't going now. Can one of these three upgrades be the culprit of why it isn't working anymore? Hopefully this is an easy fix

Check the wires from your TFI and you coil.

Was the replacement distributor a OEM Ford part or aftermarket?
