- 5.0 Dyna-Mod (Part# 000555 87-93, Part# X000555 94-95)
"The 5.0 Dyna-Mod has more electronic dwell in it over a stock module to provide more coil saturation time. This extra dwell time allows the coil to produce a more intense spark. Improves throttle response and low end power. Mounts in the original factory location without any modifications." - Screamin' Demon Coil (Part# 31724)
"Open up spark plug gaps to a whopping .060" with the Screamin' Demon coil. No drop off in power as RPM's increase. The coil has a brass terminal, rather than aluminum, which provides better conductivity and will resist corrosion longer. This coil is too "hot" for stock plug wires." - 5.0 Cap and Rotor (Part#34100)
"Super conductive brass terminals deliver ALL of the spark to the plugs. Excellent dielectric strength resists carbon tracking. Available in red or blue." - Livewires
(Part #C9057 stock, unequal length or long tube headers)
(Part# C9058 equal length shorty headers)
"LiveWires come with space age, heat resistant sleeving to provide protection from exhaust heat. The sleeving is heat treated glass braid and is non-flammable and non-corrosive to chemicals. LiveWires are custom fit - no assembly is required. Each wire is numbered at each end for the correct cylinder. LiveWires have a durable and long lasting silicone jacket and insulation. Spiral wound core prevents electronic interference - no radio noise or computer interference. Available in blue, black, red, yellow & purple."
INSTALLATION
Well I get a call from Steve asking if I would like to do an article on Performance Distributors Screamin' Demon Coil and Livewires. My reply was, of course. Now I have used an Accel coil and MSD coil before and have not noticed too much of a difference so I wasn't expecting much...boy was I surprised.
Now before I started the install I disconnected the battery as you should always do while working under the hood of your car. Then it was a pretty standard install. The first thing I did was remove the cap with the wires intact and pulled out the old rotor. Then I changed my plugs and gapped them at .060 just like Performance Distributors recommends. Using my old cap and wires as a guide, I put the Live Wires on the cap... man these things are huge.
Next I replaced the coil, then replaced the TFI (Dyna-Mod). To remove this from the fender you need a 7/32" socket. I pulled it with the heat sink and all, so I could clean it and install the new dielectric grease.
After reinstalling the TFI, I put in the new rotor and put the cap & wires on, then ran the wires to their respective plugs. I reconnected the battery and fired her off.
Now I did expect the car to start and idle smoother, which it did. But you won't really notice a difference until you have run down the road about 10 miles and have given your computer time to relearn your driving habits, but from there...man, what a difference. On my car I could never advance it above 10 degrees without getting detonation. Well, right now I'm at 12 degrees and the car really has some pep. There's nothing like nitrous or a blower, but you know your own car and when you feel a small gain, you know it. I am very satisfied with this product and I feel if you want to go with an aftermarket coil, wires, cap, rotor, & TFI then Performance Distributors products are well worth the money.

CONCLUSION:
If you would like to consult with Performance Distributors for more information on how this can benefit your Mustang, feel free to call them at 901-396-5782. You can also email them directly at info@performancedistributors.com or visit their webpage HERE with more details and ordering instructions for your specific car.
UPDATE 11/9/04: We also recently enlisted the help of Performance Distributors for our new addition to the YMR stable, a '93 yellow LX Convertible. The engine is nearly bone stock, but we wanted to replace the plug wires, and decided to do an entire upgrade to a Firepower Ignition kit instead. This replaced the cap, rotor, wires, TFI module, and ignition coil. So far, the performance gains are great! We can definitely feel a few extra horses on acceleration, and throttle response.
