It's not hooked up correctly if you have any probs with it. It just makes awesome spark.

I'm 99.999999999% positive that its wired correctly. I have the tfi adapter harness for the box, so its just yellow-yellow white-white, etc. etc.

I put mine in 6 years ago, but if I remember right, the Ford 5.0 is an easy hookup. You trigger the MSD from the coil harness. I never touched the TFI module.
