Last video that I used this test light meter I got a lot of questions about where I bought it. I really don't remember. But here is a link to a similar one that's on Amazon. https://amzn.to/3Bje5ih
It didn't occur to me how that newish looking ignition module failed, until later that night after I finished editing. In the moment I just chalked it up to a crappy aftermarket part. Then I remembered the missing screw that bolted the module to the aluminum heat sink. Since the part was not bolted down properly, there was an air gap between the module and the heat sink. I speculate and hypothesize that the cooling effect was diminished and that caused the ignition module to overheat to the point of failure. Again, this thought didn't occur to me in the moment, but seems to be a rational explanation to what would cause a recently replaced part to fail. Or it was just crap to begin with. I like the first version better.

Strange to see you NOT using heat paste and then inserting that bolt that later has to be drilled out. Otherwice I enjoy watching your video's. Inspires me to get my hands dirty
Add a comment…
Trick or Treat to the next person that need to replace the module again…over the same screw…damn that was a special repair…😅🤣😂🤣😅😂🤣🖕🖕🖕
Aggghhhhh Electrical Tape – If your address is listed anywhere here I swear I am sending you some Tesa tape for rewraps ! 😉
heat sink compound
Reeeee. How will the hex screw ever be removed? Reeeeeee.
Dude Ray said shitty!
great workhorse motors
Not cutting a slot in the self tapper is going to cause a headache for the next guy. A quick slot cut into the head would make it work with a flathead .
Reeee! The amount of work you went through to force a too-long self threading sheet metal screw into a 10-32 hole, instead of just finding a 10-32 screw (not one in the entire shop?)
I've got a box of misc machine screws if you want some.
Choppers…. Wagner…. "I love the smell of brake parts cleaner in the morning, it's the smell of … Victory"
What a piece of garbage, just shoot it also because it's a ford.
Those modules used to come with a little packet of heat conductive grease and new screws with thread lock.
The next time the module needs replacing, someone will have a lot of trouble removing your hardened self tapping screw since a socket won’t work.
Great video.
300ci 6 definitely on my list of wanna have engines. This is on a 95 F-150? Anyone else have one of these, how's it working for you?
I bet there is a set of points and condenser and a match book in the glove box. I had a 77 F Series Super Camper Special. I miss that old truck.
REEEEEEEE
I would go nuts if I had to listen to that music at work all day.
That was fun!
How many hours does it take to take a gas tank out ND put it in for a infinity FX35
Dang you Tom Petty
Part of the fun watching your posts is listening to to cool music in the background
Brings a tear to my eye, seeing a good old-fashioned inline 6. There's just something about inline 6's, no matter what brand they are, they're tough as hell and damn near impossible to kill.
My first car, way back in 1977, was a '65 Mustang with a 200 inline 6 Windsor, with that single barrel carb, and 3 speed auto tranny. Saw me thru my last year of high school, and my first two years in the USN.
small electronics repairman here, you will hear no REEEEE from this guy. Wires like that are common in vintage electronics I refurbish from time to time…that's all I do as well…"make it better than what it was"…and I say nothing about it. Sometimes it's not only unnecessary to replace a whole wire, it can break more things in the process. That goes for old vehicles too.
My rule of thumb when considering replacing a whole wire, "does a 4mm clip, and a 4mm strip make it shiny?" if it's no, lose the whole wire. If I have to splice, least for small electronics, f*** a solder joint unless it's directly to the PCB. They make special connectors otherwise, and you should be using them if you do this work.
I'm bored, and I find it entertaining how similar professionals think in different lines of work.
You got ford grease introduced into your system
Yeah my aunt bought a 98 Monte Carlo and about 8 months later it just died while driving, crank it, it sounded like it was out of time, Replaced the cam sensor and crank sensor, still the same thing. I dug down into it, and I found a nut in the cam shaft area, So I thought, broken timing chain, nope, cranked it and the front half would turn, back have wouldn't, it broke the cam in half under 1 of the main bearings, So I did a cam job on it, and the car has been running great ever since.
Okay smarty but how would you get the screw back out
It was sooooo annoying to see you tap on the screen like that. You do know those scratch easily, right?
Its a ford should have just scraped it.
We have no problems. Only solutions waiting to be found
Sorry ,been there done that ! You forgot the heat sink Grease, they don't last long without it.
Ack! Square body flash-backs 😀 Thanks for the vid.
You just made it harder if needed to changeagain
This ain't no charity event bro!!!!!I 🤬
man i have a 94 302 v8. the ps pumps all sound like moaning sheep
Good job Ray
I had a 1978 F150 4×4 and that mod was in an easy spot on the firewall… It had a Transistor on it with a few other circuits underneath it and the transistor blew and I was too cheep to pay for a new module so I took a Horizontal output transistor out of my kit, and it worked for years… best 3 bucks I ever spent…
The new in-dash radio is probably worth more than the rest of the truck! Nice work.
In my opinion, the Ford 300 in-line six is the best engine Ford ever built. I really wish they would not have discontinued it.
Rrrrrèeeeeeeeeeeee
you can't get copyright strikes for music that sucks
MY ICM is on the distributor on my old ford but mine has the V8 in it
You showed a good attitude whilst untaffling the lash up wiring.
Customer may not even be aware. Last engineer in there has to carry the can.
Yea let's Use the wrong Screws and Strip out the Heat Sink. Dont for Get the Dawn windshield washer Fluid
That ignition module is going to fall out. There were NO audible “clicks” as the bolts were replaced!
Great. Job!
RIP anyone that needs to remove that recessed bolt. lmao
I’d be aggravated you put that module in with a screw that can’t be backed out.
