What kind of other cars can I get a dizzy and map sensor from?

[Black1987Stang]

Im going to pull-a-part later and I want to know what other vehicles I could get a distributor from? the only stang they have is a 84 and a 1990 4 banger and theyre not the same. Would one work from like a f-150 or something or an explorer? Also what about a map sensor also? Thanks

sensors you can usually compare the OE numbers on them , the distributor as long as it is a TFI distributor out of a 5.0 should work , but you have to remember to look and make sure they have the steel distributor gear , if it doesnt you will have to press your old gear off and on the other distributor .....

thanks Anyone else? and MAP sensor too?

Main thing is to make sure it has a steel gear or an iron gear, depending on what's currently in your setup, otherwise you'll be finding metal shavings/bits in your pan. TFI modules on all EFI 5.0L motors (both low-po and HO) between 86-93 should be the same - Wells part #F121 - and ditto for the pickup coil and plug wires.

Donor cars to consider:
- '86+ Lincoln Mark VII (HO or non-HO)
- '86-'91 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, Town Car (all are EFI 5.0's, Town Car went to 4.6L in '91)
- some 5.0L F-Series trucks (not sure on years with them)
- '86+ 5.0L T-Birds, Cougars

As far as the MAP, make sure whether you're looking for a M-A-P or a B-A-P sensor; a MAP is only for the speed-density cars, and a BAP (Barometric Air Pressure ... doesn't have a vacuum line attached to it) is for mass-air cars. The only mass-air models listed above are those equipped with the HO motors (89-93 T-bird/Cougar, HO Mark VII), and maybe some years of the F-Series trucks (again, not sure what years on those). The rest are speed-density.

DW, there were push start and non push start (grey and black) TFI's. It does matter.

Thanks DW But Cant I use a MAP or a BAP sensor? I thought they were the same thing except one is plugged into vacuum (MAP) and the other (MAF) is vented to the atmosphere. So anyways get a grey one tfi module dizzy with a steel gear right since I have a E303 roller cam?
