It says your album is private so no one can see it, you need to go into photo bucket and make it "public"

Looks to be motorcraft dizzy.

[magh]

So is that not a standard sierra item?

A quick search on the Internet suggests that it looks like a Capri ignition

Looks very similar to the fuel injected pinto ignition system with the TFI module mounted on the aluminium heat sink

That distributor looks like a four wire one. The thicker black wire is a shielded two wire from the hall effect sensor I believe. ?

There is only 3 in the plug but there is a spade connection round to the left? And yes the black is thick with almost a blue coating in it then the copper

I agree it's from a 2.0L fuel injected sierra after 87 till pintos were abandoned for the DOHC. It is a bosch hall effect dizzy with no advance mechanism which links to the TFI 6 wire module and EEC lV ecu. The EEC lV runs the ignition advance and fuel injection.

The motocraft dizzy is huge and has posts not sockets for the leads. The bosch inductive dizzy looks similar but has a vacuum unit and is taller as it has advance bob weights under the base plate.

Only use this set-up if you want to keep the original sierra fuel injection. If you plan to fit carbs then a replacement dizzy and total of about 3 wires is all you need instead of the 50 with that system.

Its pictured on page 13-48 of my blue sierra haynes manual.

All standard sierra. Some TFI modules mounted on the dizzy.

You would have to fit the whole lot if you want it to just run the sparks. Does make sense if you are keeping the fuel injection.

Brilliant yeah it's all useless then as I already have r1 bike carbs fitted. Which dizzy /set up would you recommend?

[Guest Ian & Carole]

Stuff one of these in two wire and extremely good quality and reliability.
