ignition module question
Hi! sometime I return here!!!
last month we went to winter sport and my Aero began to have headache when hot: engine died suddenly and didn't want to re-start for half an hour, several time of course and each time in the worst place: snowy hillclimb, turnpikes and so on.
I purchased a new ignition module and in installation tips they recommend to change also the hall effect unit if is black (early model) for new one (blue). I am puzzled because if is it true I'll have to wait several week for a new one (I live in France) and also with a risk, if this is no more available, to buy a new distributor.
My Aero is a 3,0 L 1989 with the module installed on the distributor, the plugs, wires, cap and rotor are 40 000 mls; previously he worked like a dream.
The module brand is: Standart Motor products, Inc.
An advice, please!!!!

well, you can relocate TFI to fender with self made wiring, and it will work better, but overheated ones TFI will fail soon. It is made on ceramic board and will fail anyway.
so rewire for fender mounted TFI and get new TFI.

nice to meet you here again pinceau,
some possibilities for moving your distributor mounted TFI as pablo-ua has done and also many other Ford 3L owners
i suggest using shielded wiring to prevent interference to the TFI signals

I used shielded wire for PIP and Sp-Out. Pinceau, you can use Ford Scorpio/Sierra/Mondeo TFI. Some of them have no hall-effect sensor pins (they are usually black) but you can run wire to pin #6 and run ground and power supply wires to sensor. it is really easy.
