You mean a TFI modual. They can be purchased from most auto stores. I normally get a few from pickapart or wreckers as they are cheap as ($5 i think)

its held on my 2x screws on the side of the dizzy

they are not a big thing as such, size wise :P

if you have a Gregorys manual, it will tell you how exactly to do this. Not hard once you have done it once. Depends on how good you are with cars ;)

yeah they always pack up if you get moisture in them. try squirting some WD40 on the connections first. Otherwise, Nick-a-Part will have them, just make sure you get one from a 'half decent' wreck. They are a grey box located on the side of the distributor.

would the modual be causing loss of power or even cause your engine to run rich?
