Jeep TFI install process
How it's done: (click on the image to see a larger one)
 | Start with the stock 258 ignition |  | Take off the distributor and the plug wires |  | Now screw down the new distributor base, it should line up perfectly with the old screw holes |  | Put the new rotor and distributor cap on. |  | Install new plugs and gap them depending on the chart below, if you Follow this article, you will use a gap of .045". Install the plug wires and coil, make sure you get the firing order right, its 1-5-3-6-2-4 |  | This is the TFI coil, which provides a big advantage over the stock coil. |  | I made this connector, which is just a one foot of speaker wire with two female connectors on one end (the new coil end) and two male connectors on the other end (which goes to the old coil connector). I plugged one end into the new coil and the other into the old coil harness. |  | Either get a bracket or make one, or you can just use the bold holes on the coil to bold it to the fender well. |  | After possibly tinkering with the timing (you'll have to decide if you need this or not) You're done! |
Spark plug gaps
