What is a spout plug?
What is a spout plug? The SPOUT (SPark OUTput) connector is the little plug on the wires going into the TFI module on the distributor. This mode has no advance and operates at the basic timing setting of the distributor. It is this mode that lets the car run without the SPOUT connector in. Why does my Bronco only start with spout connector out? These concerns may be caused by the shielding drain wire (Circuit 48.) cutting through the insulation of, and shorting to, the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) wire (Circuit 395) or the spark output (SPOUT) wire (Circuit 929)...
