I think it is a 7mm. I used a 1/4" drive deep socket to get it but I pulled the distributor to get it. I assume you mean EFI.

If you're talking about the TFI module on the side of the distributer they sell a special socket for it. Any good part store should have it. I got mine at pep boys and they never have stuff to fix my truck... I think Lisle makes it.

any one have an Idea on a hard start in the morning on an 88 f150.
this is all I have done .
replaced all 3 fuel pumps and all the sensors o2,map sensor, coolant temp.sensor . has new pulgs and wires cap and rotor and just replace the ignition control mod on the side of the distributor. after it starts it runs like a champ,made sure the timing is 10 degrees btdc pretty much stumped at this point anything I left out I might be able to try?
