You can see how a couple wires pulled out, I can fix it, but it's going to be pretty tough

Ignition control module. Make sure its bolted to metal or you'll have gremlins!

Stupid autocorrect ha. My bad yes that's exactly what I meant. I've never ran one but there's a discussion somewhere on here about them

If you need to splice the wires, make sure they are sealed with best-shrink tubing. Don't give corrosion a chance to get into the wires or connector.

Thanks for all the help, I'm pretty OCD on wiring, so I'll make sure to do it up right.

I should be able to handle it, it's definitely going to need a non insulated butt connecter

If it's running with wires missing, I'd be surprised. That's the TFI module for the ignition.
My car is a hybrid; it burns gas and rubber.

I have one of those in my '89 Bronco but Its not plugged in to anything since the fender came off a newer F150. I didn't bother removing it since it can serve as a spare for anyone else who might need one out in the dirt.

Carry a spare if you do any prerunning in BFE...one of few stupid parts that will leave you stranded pretty quick.

go to www.rjminjectiontech.com they carry all the pins, connector bodies, etc.. for Ford. If you don't get a good connection as Phoenix states, it will haunt you like a bad case of poison oak.

A couple of things, first:

If you've got a '95, you likely also have the wrong ignition control module installed in that heat sink. The one you have is a GRAY 'push start' type module. 94's to 96's most universally need a BLACK 'CCD type' module. Do NOT use ANY parts store's reference numbers to give you the correct part - you must refer to this thread for the only correct unit for your truck (Motorcraft - DY1077 (supercedes DY679, DY667, DY645)).

Are you sure an EEC-IV system will run without the TFI module? I thought the MSD box will run alongside the TFI but not without it.
