A piezo igniter element from a typical lighter. Piezo ignition is a type of ignition that is used in portable camping stoves, gas grills and some lighters.

The EDIS-6 module is used on the following vehicles equipped with the 4.0L Ford Cologne V6 engine and 3.8L Ford Essex V6 engine between 1990 and 1997: Ford Ranger / Mazda B-Series; Ford Explorer / Mazda Navajo; Ford Aerostar; Ford Mustang (3.8L V6) Ford Thunderbird Supercoupe; Ford Taurus SHO V6 (1989–1995) Ford Windstar
A more sophisticated, supercharged and intercooled version of the 3.8 L OHV V6 was used to power the high performance Thunderbird Super Coupe, also called Thunderbird SC for short. The Super Coupe could be had with a Mazda-derived, M5R2 5-speed manual transmission or an AOD 4-speed automatic transmission (or 4R70W for 1994/1995 models).
The sixth generation of the Ford Thunderbird is a large personal luxury coupe that was produced by Ford for the 1972 to 1976 model years. A sibling of the Continental Mark IV, [3] this generation of the Thunderbird was the largest ever produced; weighing in at over 5,000 pounds (2,268 kg), they are also the heaviest coupes ever produced by Ford (aside from its Mark IV sibling car).
The Coffman engine starter (also known as a "shotgun starter") was a starting system used on many piston engines in aircraft and armored vehicles of the 1930s and 1940s. It used a cordite cartridge to move a piston, which cranked the engine.
The new engine made the cars some of the quickest and fastest Thunderbirds ever produced, despite their larger size and increased curb weight. 1968 and 1969 model years saw minor trim changes respectively. For the 1970 model year, the Thunderbird was stylistically updated with the addition of a large, bird's beak-style projection out of its grille.
Late in the 1980 model year, the Thunderbird was offered with a six-cylinder engine for the first time. [4] Technically considered a delete option, Ford introduced an 88 hp (66 kW) 3.3 L inline-6 (shared with the Fairmont and Granada), paired with a 3-speed automatic; for 1982, the 3.3 L engine became standard.
The Thunderbird came with a removable fiberglass top as standard equipment, with a fabric convertible top as a commonly specified option. The engine was Ford's 292-cubic-inch OHV 292 Y-block V8, [15] which got 18 mpg ‑US (13 L/100 km; 22 mpg ‑imp). The exhaust pipes exited through twin bumper guards bolted to the rear bumper.
