1987 Ford Ranger 2.9
This piece is in an impossibe spot to work in. I need to know the size of the screwhead. I tried a deepwell 7/32 6-point socket that will fit into the module but won't grab the screw, which is not a phillips or flathead. Could it be metric?

 

you know i have an 86 2.9, and i tried to take off the module myself....it wasnt a screw at all, and i couldnt get a socket to fit....so i took a mirror and took a look at it, and from what i could see it looked like a torx head or star....good luck man...and use the mirror idea...it will help you a lot!

 

Thanks for responding so quick. I used the mirror from the beginning, but just went outside and checked the module and they are definately not torx or star, the mark is a stamp. Still looking for the size of the screw/very small bolt

 

I thought they sold a special tool for the TFI bolts/screws.

 

In South Jersey, tell me where to go to get the tool.
Thanks

 

just found the tool 5.5mm NAPA tool specifically for removing the ignition module without pulling the distributor.
