My 1995 E350 van with roller cam 351 Windsor 5.8L E4OD auto transmission. It's hidden on the right side so you have to pull the battery and two relays unplug the ICM plugin and move the wiring harness out of the way and then you can finally see the ignition control module mounted on the heatsink way in the back by the fender. Two 8mm bolts and need a long thin 7/32 socket 1/4 ratchet for the TWO ICM bolts. To make it last long and more reliable they used to supply thermal heat compound in the Box when you buy it and I called every auto parts store and they don't have it anymore so it'll burn up quicker because it can't conduct heat to that big aluminum finned heat sink. Ford dealership has Motorcraft thermal heat compound, but I went to my local computer shop in town and got some quick silver 5 thermal heat compound. Fixed my stalling and wait 8 minutes and restart to get me home. I am so glad it didn't die on me in the middle of Arizona.
