What type of socket do I need to replace the TFI? Where do I get one?

They sell them at AutoZone. It is a 7/32" or a 5.5mm. If you have an extra of either one of those sockets, you can grind the mid section down a little bit to make it work.

Oh yeah, you can buy that tool at Autozone. It is a 5.5mm or 7/32". Did I say that already?

ok, ignition guru. better?
You, Dags, are a nut. J/K

Um Tim, welcome to my world. I will often read a post [after a post of mine] and say to myself, "did I NOT just say that?"
oh well, better to have redundancy than no answer at all.
