Ahhh... This on troubled me for quite some time. As with all of our lovely American cars, they love to make ***special*** tools to remove what should be an easy part to remove. Instead of just attaching the module with simple Phillips screws, the engineers at Ford decided to affix it with a 5.5mm bolt. ***however*** since the bolt is recessed about 1/2 inch, there are **no** deep well sockets that will reach it. So... You have to buy a ford "ignition module" tool to access those pesky bolts. I found one online for about 10 bucks. Also, don't buy the module from ford! They want over $215 dollars for it. I got one at checker for about $105.00.
hope this helps

***edit to the clueless wonder aboves answer*** well since you seem to be a clueless American car basher, instead of spendin that 105.00 for the special tool, all you would have needed was a 1/4" drive 7/32" thin wall socket or just ground the outside of the socket until it fit. They use a socket head because they knew a steel bolt in an aluminum distributor housin would corrode and a phillips screw head would strip obviously, no rocket science involved there. The jap cars do the same if not worse. so for $5 max cost, you could have gotten the right socket for the job or modified one easily.
BY TechToolTime:
This is correct ,a thin wall ( expensive tool truck like MATGO, SnackOn or the likes), deep or mid-depth socket of 5.5 mm or 7/32" will fit or grind down a cheapie. And remember , you were once clueless as well.
*#*#*# Another Edit:
My 94 Taurus parts car (body rotted away at 330K) used a 6 mm head size bolt and the 95 Sable (150K daily driver used a 7/32" (aka 5.5mm) while the threads are identical. A small bench grinder plus a hand file with some cutting oil made fast work of a couple of ratty looking import sockets in the "dupes" box.
I also have a 92 Taurus (180K) as a backup and have found many "Fordsies" between the 3 models that make maintaining these gems difficult or at least aggravating at times.

If I understand correctly, the Ignition Control Module is located inside of the distributor. To replace it remove the distributor cap, which is locted in the center rear of the engine compartment. If there is adequate room, leave the spark plug and coil wires attached. Set the cap aside and look for a wiring harnes on the bottom of the distributor. I should be attached to a small flat black module that has two small bolts holding it in place. Carefully remove the small bolts, and unplug the harness and remove the Ignition Control Module. Replace and assemble in reverse order. Make sure to get the distributor cap on the same way and do not rotate the distributor during the process.
