What do you guys think about this heat sink for a remote TFI project. My turbo guy delivered my new turbo today and sold me some of these for the standerdine remote modules for the 6.5 GM DIESEL. I immediately started my brain working on a remote TFI heat sink. Dont mind me ITS THE AGE. Chime in guys lay it on me DUDES. TOM

It would certainly have more heat dissipation than the F-Series truck heat sink.

That thing looks like it was part of a car audio amplifier

If you mount it to where the fins actually do some good, it'll be a nice clean way to hide the unsightly TFI module.

Nice I like. How modified is this one going to be? I guess running distributor since using TFI. I fiqured DIS or EDIS or coil packs for your kind of toys. Maurice

Believe it or not i do still run a TFI. You know nistalgia or just DUMB. No really i have had good luck with the TFI system. I do have crank trigger on one but one big disadvantage. If you loose the dizzy gears and loose OP the engine keeps on running. You need an AUX shut off if you run crank spark.

That should work. Also run the paste/grease made for attaching heat sinks to processors in computers. That increase heat transfer quite a bit.

I've got to get into the step of having a Pinto engine again.

Forgive my ignorance but is it possible to remotely mount the thin film module of the distributor of an 88 turbocoupe with an item like yours?

As with the gooey stuff, I only know that dielectric is used for coating electrical connections. Heat sink stuff can be had at electronic stores. Especially the old school ones. Go to an upscale and they'll probably just sell you tubes that are sized for those quad core CPUs in a computer.

That's exactly what it's for. Ford actually did it on several models. The aforementioned F-series truck being one of them. The mounted the TFI on a small heatsink and stuffed it in the back corner on the inner fender adjacent to the master cylinder.

There's all kinds of info on how to do it.
Google Merkur Encyclopedia or browse through the search function on Turboford.net

You're also correct, dielectric grease and heat sink compound are two different things.

And one much better.
