88 crown vic tfi module

the module failed and I replaced it with one from advance...I did a
google and found these usually fail from heat and that there was a class
action against ford because of stalling causing deaths and injuries....I
am thinking of wrapping it with some kind of insulation like wrapping a
water heater....is this ok?

No, just apply dielectric grease to the module, where it makes contact
with the distributor. That should insulate the module properly.

I have one of those "faulty" modules in my 1990 Escort GT, 163k miles
and hasn't failed yet (knock on wood).
