Ride: EB2 Ghia,Mighty Boy,Eb1 Xr8 5spd

Location: ** In the Shed! **
VIC, Australia

I broke a clevis the other day, westpoint ford charged me $12 a pop for a couple of spares.

In regards to the TFI heatsink, I think you could pickup something to suit from Jaycar or Radio parts.

I was planning on running wiring from my distributor to a tfi mounted on the firewall in the mighty boy, and it looks as tho it will need to be shielded, but that isn't all that hard to do or to get. I think the firewall will make a good heatsink.

Cheers

ToranaGuy

Me thinks I shall not bother with a manual conversion seems to make them fall to bits! and are pretty hard work - my ZD was pretty easy to do in comparison!

Could always strip and ecu loom and steal the shield from it... you compress it and it grows in dia and slides off... That is if you have a spare loom...

Mice cables are not very dia cross sectional area but they are shielded...

As are most audio cables and signal cables used in other purposes... Definitely not hard to come by...

Jaycar do general ones but that proper heat sink looks need... Last remaining option is to get one like it and painstakingly remove all the fins from the middle to make the TFI fit into it like the ones in the article...

Cheers,
Tim

Yep, done one already - soldered and with epoxy bolstering.

PITA that Gel - wasn't 'too' hard to get out though.

Usually the coil fails because it is mounted on that stupid bracket...So much weight in the coil it eventually cracks through that base... moisture gets inside and you get yourself either no spark or weak spark...If it was mounted down instead of against the block it would not have all that weight hanging off those two bolts and cracking in the narrow section. One of those TFI heatsinks would be great though if anyone finds where you can buy the proper one to fit the TFI...Jaycar do general ones but that proper heat sink looks need... Last remaining option is to get one like it and painstakingly remove all the fins from the middle to make the TFI fit into it like the ones in the article...
I'm picturing the coil and TFI sitting on a small platform - coil sitting horizontal, TFI near it - TFI has a generic heatsink on it's dizzy side which sits upperside, TFI is mounted to tray with 2 standoffs underneath.

I was able to get home under my own power.

Traffic lights were a particular issue however.

The Clutch Cable snapped where it clips onto the clutch fork - AGAIN.

Good thing I had a spare in the car.

A hydraulic conversion will fix the clutch cable issues. It's something I have pondered for my EB's, but I'm fairly sure I can't afford to do it just yet, with everything else that is on the go... lol.

Cheers
