PIP, pickup coil, distributor stator are referring to the same part. The TFI and ICM (ignition control module) are the same part as well.
Multiple names for the same thing just to confuse the civilians.

The PIP is a sensor mounted in the stator and the stator is mounted inside the distributor.
The pick-up coil was used from about 1975-1985 in the DuraSpark II Ignition system and was replaced by the PIP sensor when they went to the EEC-IV Ignition system.
There is no pick-up coil in the PIP/Stator.
The TFI is how a ICM is made.
PIP: Profile Ignition Pickup, Provides crankshaft or camshaft position information for ignition synchronization.
TFI: Thick Film Ignition. An ignition module comprised of a custom integrated circuit, Darlington output device and associated thick film integrated components.
ICM: Ignition Control Module, The module that controls the ignition system.
