You already have an electronic voltage regulator from the factory. That ignition bracket can be mounted on the intake like the factory did and you won't have to drill holes in the firewall. Or, should I say there are brackets out there that mount on the intake.

Or, should I say there are brackets out there that mount on the intake. I've always seen them on the firewall, mine is. If there is one on the intake, do you have a picture or know where to get it?

Have had an ECU mounted on the firewall(sans bracket)about a foot to the port of the regulator for many moons...
No issues...
(Mount 'em both on CLEAN metal...) "Mount 'em both on CLEAN metal". My engine bay is freshly painted. Is that what you mean? Or some people say to remove or scuff the area where the bolt holes are for ground. Just wanted to get it clarified.

Absolutely make sure you have bare metal for the ground. Thought I had a good ground. After a 50mile drive. No start! Thought dead orange box. Swapped box still no start. Scrapped the paint on the back of the box and around the box holes and firewall with a pocket knife and vroom. Later taped out area and used a pneumatic angle grinder and pad..no problems doesn't take much paint to cause a headache

A "bonding brush" is what you need, several pilot sizes available.

That's exactly what I have, John. Heard it called "spot facer" and "bonding brush". I'll do it on the back of the box(s) and where it mounts on the firewall

71 didn't have electronic ignition, so somebody put it there in the past. I think Roger Gibson may have the intake bracket, I know I have see them new before. I have a 71 also, what I did with my regulator was to find a self locking nut that fit the factory bolts. I cleaned the back of the regulator and a small spot around the holes. Then I went inside the cow under the vent screen and installed a toothed washer and the self locking nut. I know there wasn't no electronic ignition in 71. No one has added it, I'm adding it. Thinking of just side by side. If Gibson has the intake bracket, never seen one mounted on the intake. His catalog don't have pictures associated with his P/N's but will look through it.
