OHIO, USA	I wanted to get it as far away from the heat of the engine and engine compartment so I found a couple of unused firewall plugs at the bulkhead wiring block, ran the wires inside of the wiring harness, then through the bulkhead and mounted the box under the dash on the inside. If you look at the bulkhead junction block behind that mess of A/C stuff you can just see the red wire. And that's a Holley under the stock unsilenced air filter cover and sitting on top of an Edelbrock aluminum intake with everything (Edelbrock) ground off for "stock appearing" 7137106-DSC02309.JPG (153 downloads)

Canada	One of the issues for most of us is that if you bought an (expensive) M&H harness you really don't want to start cutting apart the wires. I went with a custom bracket that attached to some of the heater box studs, but the back of the manifold looks like the best idea IMO.

Dave What I did is have the harness made to accomodate this move. Works great and you don't see it unless you bend down and look.

It takes a lot of extra work to cut and lengthen the wires and the re-wrap them afterwards to help blend in, but it looks great afterwards. If you didn't notice the extra wire coming from the distributor then you really wouldn't know it had electronic ignition. When I get home I'll post a picture of the bracket I made.

Also, there is absoluetly NO reason not to run just a standard points distributor on a resto. Properly set up points distributors will give a lifetime of trouble free service especially when you take into account how little these cars get driven on a yearly basis. MB

The focus at the time was the carpet. VR is just out of view to the rear of the orange box. Ballast is on a threaded rod and coupling standoff for cooling. Black wire to base nuts is for good ground. 7138901-Firewalldriverleft.jpg (124 downloads)
