I'm not convinced that it's wiring, but some jumpers would answer that.

Just the three we looked at fluctuated. Mine was 6.9-7.1 Jason had a bit higher and Jim said his was in the 16v range. Crazy different.

Jump it. I'm thinking it might show continuity but could be pinched, smashed or nicked and isn't carrying the voltage all the way.Jason said he would pull it out of the bundle but jumping it would probably be quicker and easier.

They have varied a lot since they were new.  That's the reason, I am not convinced it's the wiring.  We have three components in play and a lot of wiring..but jumping should be easy and might prove it is  :)

Installed a jumper on the signal wire from the cam sensor to the ignition module. Went for a drive....


No change.  Got the 16 code again on the tach from the TR6. 


Promptly removed the jumper wire and TR6. Installed the stock ignition module and coil. Went for a drive.  No codes.  Noticeably starts quicker than with TR6 unit and appears to idle smoother. 


Decided to flush the coolant system and had this old heat shield laying around so I installed it. Charlie and Gary saw it on my white T, what do you guys think?

I'm the kinda guy that likes the stock look and very much dislikes black heat shields
But yours is different. That's badass!
