Just a couple of questions but first,if using yard parts,i just found that a 79 and also a 80 Ford Granada with the 250 six cyl also has the large two piece cap that screws down,i just put them on my 86 258.Though the plug wires are not up to snuff as the Granada dont have a TFI coil on it,so you still have to get the "good" wires.Just thought i would add this in case someone is yard searching.
OK,now the question - i see the TFI coil listed in the instructions at Trailhead,com is from 1981 Ford F-150 Pick Up Truck With A 300 CID I-6 Engine and in another paragraph a
84 Ford F-150 Pickup with a V-8 engine (WITH-EEC) is both the same coil? Or am i reading the comma in the instructions wrong?
here is a snip of it:

This upgrade will bring your Jeep ignition system into the mainstream 70's technology.
HIGH PERFORMANCE UPGRADES:
Once the cap, rotor and plug wires have been upgraded, then you can use some 80's technology in the form of the THICK FILM INTEGRATED (TFI) ignition coil.
The TFI coil is Motorcraft's answer to the GM HEI coil, and out performs the common GM HEI coil by about 1-1/2 times.
(Yes, that's correct, the TFI coil stomps the GM HEI coil)
The TFI coil will work with ALL of the Duraspark modules. It's an odd looking thing, but can be mounted in any orientation (even up side down).

is the 81 coil a TFI?
also i have a TFI coil from a injected 85 4 cyl Tempo,is it the same coil as well?
I know tis has been gone over a lot but having more than one part source at yards sure helps (cap and rotor) and just trying to clarify in my own mind any differences between TFI's or if the 81 coil listed in instructions shouldnt have been listed since it says a 84 V8 right below it.?
I have friends with Eagles and Jeeps that dont own a computer at all to find this stuff out themselves and i surely dont want to give wrong part numbers or advice as what to get, to anyone..Also i am not picking apart the instrctions,just wanting to clarify to myself, for others is all.
