Walter, great idea, Ive never used a TFI module switched by points, interesting. Would you mind posting here or PM'ing me a wiring diagram of how you connect this setup and what ignition coil you use?Walter R.

The points I had in my Mgb I just adjusted with a dwell meter. Much easier/simpler. I was just curious from a performance standpoint if they had any desirable benefit. Looks like I'm going solid state.
Thanks.
We do it all the time with nostalgia type cars and use a Ford "Thick Film ignition", (TFI 35368 ACCEL), from a 94 mustang using the points simply as a trigger which will connect to the spout terminal.
That ignition is small and fits inside most air cleaners.
Thankyou,
