I assume there is not enough room in the place you're thinking of, and I'm sure there is definitely not enough fresh air ! I would recommend the SS firewall, where the wiring diagram is supposed to be sticked, or on the footboxes, mounted on rubber mounts... Peter (Dkp_Cobra) made a very detailed support for his CDI box, related in his post ... He should also help you !

quote:Originally posted by AK1131 I recently mount an EFI ignition box to the vertical mounting plate forward of the engine on the inboard side of the front suspension. The box is nearly invisible. I will send you a photo if needed.

There is not a lot of room in the engine bay. The mechanic was thinking of mounting it in front of the engine, between the engine and radiator on a fabricated mount. Lots of room. Plenty of fresh air there, but could be vulnerable to water. If Peter has a link to his posted discussion on his mount for his ignition box, would love to see it.

You can see here some pictures of my mounting position: http://www.acownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=224&whichpage=9. It is below the battery tray. No heat from the engine, no water since the battery is above. Works quite good for me. The only problem is that you have to remove the inner wing to reach the box.
