    If it is a TFI (thick film ignition) module your talking about it is mounted right on the base of the distributor. And be careful when you remove it so you don,t pull tear up the stator that the module plugs into. If you do you will have to remove the distributor and replace that also.

    It is attached to the distributor body,some require a special tool to remove. They are cheap and most auto parts stores have them ,they are a slim 7/32 nut driver.

    The TFI module is attached to the side of the distributor.

    The best way would be to have a 4 wheel drive donor truck. You have to change the front axle and springs, transmission tailshaft & housing (possibly the entire transmission), driveshafts, possibly rear axle gears, rear springs, possibly the front crossmember, steering linkage and gear box, and some wiring for the transfer case controls.
