Ive been doing a lot of reading and it just seems that the TFI distributor is only different in means of advancement. It doesnt have any vaccume or cyntrifugal advance, so it uses a coil instead. Thats why Im assuming it has 20 wires coming out of it.
The distributor I have has 2 wires coming out of it, one to the ignition and the other for ground.
Im not sure though if it has its own crankshaft posision sensor, or if the fuel injector timing comes from the distributor.
Anyone know?

Fuel injection gets its timing information from the TFI. If it's integrated into the distributor, you'll need a distributor that has the TFI built in, or somehow rig up a remote mount for the TFI, and wire it to work with an aftermarket distributor.

I read in the chilton manual that it has a crank sensor which feeds info to the computer on injector timing. I also read that the tfi model is only a better method of spark advancement.
It says there is a crank sensor, is there?

I don't know there to be a crank position sensor, although I'm not very familiar with a 460. The computer gets all timing information from the distributor (TFI) as far as I know. The computer controls all timing advance on engines with TFI Ignition systems.

does anyone know if I can hook up a crank sensor or some other timing method besides the tfi distributor?
Otherwise I cant seen to find any high performance distributors with TFI. I need to get fuel injection working
I read a lot in the manual about the TFI and all it explained was how it advances the timing. How it goes to the TFI box and the EEC
But for fuel injector timing was under the crank sensor page.
