Ignition System - TFI-IV: Description

All EEC-IV controlled engines use the Thick-Film Integrated (TFI-IV) ignition system. The TFI-IV distributor contains an integrally mounted TFI-IV ignition module. A Hall Effect stator assembly replaces the coil stator. This distributor does not use conventional centrifugal/vacuum advance mechanisms.

The TFI-IV ignition module is contained in molded thermoplastic and is mounted on base of distributor. The TFI-IV ignition module used on manual transmission equipped vehicles features a push start mode. This feature allows vehicle to be push started if necessary. An "E" core ignition coil is used.
