I see these once and awhile but they make lil sence to me. I see they have a aluminum mount and a module to fit in there and keep it away from the distributor and have a wiring assembly to connect to the distibutor but it seems it has to connect to the tfi module still in the distibutor then why does this help. Cause the tfi attacted to the distibutor would still get hot and not send a signal to the one mounted away from the hot area. Should the wiring just not plug into the prongs on the distributor then send signal to the module that is mounted away from the heat source. TR

 

Usually, it's like the home-made module tester, which uses a known "good" module connected to the one on the distributor. You can make your own relocation setup using a heat sink for the module and all the wiring parts to connect it to the distributor output, or use what you need from said kit and just make up a wiring harness that connects the "new" module directly to the distributor output, though.

 

Call me stupid! What is a tfi?

I would think the main advance of a remote TFI is it makes it easy to change and off the hot motor. I do not believe I have seen any "evidence" that it actually promotes longer life.
