Randal,
Clayton just got back from neils shop. Said he was uber impressed with the shop and this guy's knowledge....
They brought up some things that need to be addressed.....
clayton and neal went over the drawing you gave neil,
Problem 1- doesnt show specific location of components in the engine bay and/or trunk, keep in mind, that the CDI box and the coil, can easily create RF interference with the ECU.... even using shielded cables for the ECU.
Clayton and Neil were kind of hoping that you wanted the ECU in the trunk, and the CDI box and Coil in the engine bay. (best case scenario)
therefore, clayton/myself want to 3way (
) ((phonecall)) with you this evening to try and communicate the requirements for neil.
(i work till 9, PM inbound with my number, and claytons. let me know what time works for you)
clayton saw tons of his wiring harnesses, really awesome stuff, and nice guy to boot.
NOTE: Neil just finished a 4 cam porsche carrera motor from a 356 carrera ....
Neil is really an amazing guy. No question.
As to your questions:
Mike Mueller actually did the drawing.
His plan was for the ECU to be mounted between the seats or on the firewall between the seats. His measurement assumes either of those positions. This also helps with the RF issues as the ECU is in the drivers compartment.
I was planning on mounting the coil and battery (12lb) on a special fixture right where the existing batter tray resides. Maybe on top of the existing tray.
The CDI is to be mounted on the right side of trunk sheet metal. The middle is taken up with my Accusump system. I'll try to do a picture.
Thanks again for all your help.
