Last summer I started looking into the TFI Remote mount mod.
All the information that I could find was for using the stock distributor mounted TFI module mounted in a remote location.
I gathered some information and decided that it would actually be a very easy conversion, even though it is not as cost effective as just using your stock distributor and TFI since you have the extra cost of a new distributor and TFI (got mine from the JY, so it wasn't too expensive).
For starters https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...o&opi=89978449 is a good read if you want to know the difference between the 4 different types of TFI modules that Ford made over the years.
And a couple of diagrams that are floating around in every corner of the internet. These copies were posted by SeattleFSB at supermoters.net.

And the diagram I made for the conversion harness. Unlike the other diagrams above I do not have the shielding in the diagram but did note that it should be there.

Parts I used for my swap:
- 92+ F150 5.0 Distributor
- Connector and wires from the F150 that plugs into the distributor
- TFI with heat-sink from the F150
- Wire harness with TFI connector from a 1989 Town Car, with as much wiring as I could get (optional if you use your stock connector and make your own harness)
- Optional mounting bracket from an early 90's Cougar/T-Bird to mount the heat-sink to
- Optional old TFI module to gut and use as a connector to make the harness plug-and-play
- Optional wire shielding from old coax cable, since the stock shielding on my TC harness was flaky in places
Shielding is not optional, but replacing the stock shielding is optional if he stock shield is good.
