checkers sucks. thick film integrated is what it stands for, try somewhere else and ask for it that way. and I think the socket to get it out is something like a 5.5mm

that dude found it under ignition module or somethin close to that, do i gota pull my dizzy to install it? or just turn it?

Pull it. It will be alot easier. just rember where the rotor is pointing and mark it. and napa has a little nut driver made just for this if you cant get to it.

When my tfi went bad it was insane. If I pop'd my hood and I was standing in front of the motor it would run but if i moved and the sun was shining on the tfi it would die. I ground down a 5.5 socket to then as shit on my bench grinder and took it right off.
