Looks like all the parts for the standard TFI upgrade, someone's just collecting the parts into a kit (and trying to get rich doing it!--$120-130, with generic parts [Wells?!? Gimme a break!]; less than $100 if you do it yourself with top-quality parts).

Not-a-Mechanic-Mike.......I just performed this upgrade on my 360 and it was an awsome improvement. My site has all the part numbers and prices which is cheaper than that auction item. I payed just over 100 bucks cuz I went with the spiral core wires from Accel which were 40 bucks. Check out my site and tell me what you think.

JeepFreak......Thanks, I did it for you, all my Jeep friends. I always read about all the great upgrades that people do but never see pics. Well I will be taking and posting pics all the way. I didn't even know what a TFI coil looked like befor seeing one and even then I asked the parts guy if he was sure he had pulled the right part.

Helping you out through my blunders!!! I love doing this stuff.

I had previously done every thing but the coil, so look out Ford Taurus parts car your about to loose your coil, since no one wants the motor cuz they all need trannys, it has become a supplier of some cool Jeep parts. Not bad for the $10 in gas to go get it, even had new tires, rad, fuel pump, and struts, and when I decide to get rid of it the first layer of junk inside is the sweepings (shovelings?) outta the horse barn. gotta make these new cars weigh something, everyone says these newer cars are Great Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley MoogleyGreat Googley Moogleyty anyhow.
Anyone need some lt grey (one wire power)highback buckets????

The seats are in good shape and do not need to be recovered. With a small amount of work they should fit. The price is a clearance sale of $25 a pair (cheap) + shipping (the killer). Sorry on the console, Its in my Waggie! These babies are turning up in b/y's all over because the trannys are junk and cost about $1200 to fix, which is about $800 more than a lot of them are worth.
