Title: TFI dizzy with carbureted engine
Post by: 85cougar on January 09, 2010, 10:15:04 PM
Does anyone know all of the inputs to the TFI module which would allow timing advances. I plan to run the TFI distributor on a carbureted 5.0 motor(3.8 V6 computer). I'd like the advance to work, but don't have an old distributor to use

While at first this sounds like a good idea, better forget it and get a regular vac/mechanical advance dist... If you don't have most of the inputs(sensors) connected to the ECU, it will go into limp mode(yeah that's a GM term)and timing advance will be locked out...
