1989 F150 ignition problems..again

[leaster1939]

I recently posted a problem starting my F150. I got an answer and I am trying to act on the advice. I want to replace the ignition module located on the distributor (with out removing the distributor). I beleive I have enough room. PROBLEM: I can not get a good look at the attaching hardware. I have used a mirror but do not get enough detail. What type of screw is there. I have tried different srew drivers and sockets but nothing seems to fit. I am an old hand at repairing my autos but this has me frustrated.

It is a 5.5 mm head screw. A 7/32 thin wall socket will work. Parts houses sell a ford TFI removal tool made for this purpose

I have always used a deep well 5.5mm quarter inch drive socket,, works really great
for changing Ford ignition modules.
