Worth the effort you say? I am looking at doing the same thing on my '83. It needs a lil zap.

Is this the right wiring setup for the TFI upgrade?87 GW- 360/727<br />all stock<br />90,000 milesComment

Tim Smith, Thanks for sharing your experience with this. I think everyone that has done the TFI has done it a little differently and the results have all been spectacular. It was with mine. Since the tech article has confused many, I guess it should be updated. All the same, by postig your experience it looks like another whole group has gotten the TFI bug.* 1981 stepside, 360, 727, 208, almost stock daily driver.

I just bought the upgraded Ford 460 wires when I did my TFI. The wires were 8mm, and long enough to get around all the passenger side junk.Unicef Foster Child sponsored by a Canadian Family

I left out the resistor on the wire going to the ignition coil. My coil gets a full 12V. I did however put a resistor on the red wire going to the ignition module, so the module doesn't get too hot. Other than that, mine is the same.Originally posted by tcossey33:

All you have to do is clip the wires at the coil "horseshoe" and connect them to the TFI coil connector.

I just picked up my 88 GW, 360, and have been having nagging idle and hesitation/stalling/backfire problems. After everything I've read, it looks like I might want to consider a TFI upgrade. Maybe that will help by situation.
Certainly cant hurt, right?********<br />Chris A<br />88 G-Dub<br />360<br />Bone stock<br />********Comment

nagging idle is more a vacuum issue...either the temperature control switch are busted or loose lines.... or likely a carb problem....Michel
74 wag, 349Kmiles on original ticker/trany, except for the rust. Will it make it to the next get together without a rebuilt? Status: needs a new body.

letank, can you or anyone else expand on temperature control switches... I have been struggling with getting my Jeep to idle.Wrecked \'89 GWComment

Glad it worked. I am going to do the same. I think my milage just took a dump. I will have to confirm with another tank of gas. I think the 2150 is leaking on me again.

The stock Jeep 360 plugs are the same ones used in TFI - equipped Ford 302 and 351s - Autolite 65s. Just set the gap at 0.44."Battlewagon": 1986 Jeep Grand Wagoneer (w/ Tow Pack) - Urban Assault Wagon under construction - TFI, TBI, CS144, Aftermarket Sanden, Explorer Power Seats, 4" Lift, 16" AHI wheels and much much more; click here for a full list of modifications and gear, links to writeups/posts and more info.
