mrbigtanker Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 What about on the center of the wiper cowl? I think that'd look cleaner. That's been done and I don't want to run long plug wires. The other way on the passenger side will look clean. Let me finish it.. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Tanker when you get this EFI crank trigger craziness up and running you gotta do a step by step for us plebeians to aspire too. (Don't worry, most datsun owners are too cheap to actually spend the coin to do it, so I imagine you will be the only one.) Personally I think you should get the coil pack off the engine. With the crank trigger dizzy block off and the EFI, you can have one of the cleanest l-motor bays ever. And I'd rather some longer spark cables than a huge hunk of plastic hanging off the valve cover. It is like hot gluing plastic crap to a classical sculpture, no matter how pretty the mount. (Wish there were room to put it on the back of the block. That'd be stealth.) But tanker gotta do what tanker gotta do and I know it won't be half-assed. 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm pretty confident it will look good on the side. But yeah behind was first thought but no room. Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Was thinking of that Hawaiian. But not much to mount to. What about a bracket that bolts to the tapped hole behind the engine mount? Or even shares the top bolt of the engine mount? 1 Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Tank you have a buddy at Williams machine don't you? I bet he could figure out a sturdy design for this setup. I am doing a similar LS coil pack for my A12. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mattndew76 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I am using these LS6 coils I will be making me a mount rack that mounts them below the valve cover along the block. Parallel of the plugs. I will use my old distributor bore and motor mount studs for the static mount. 3 Quote Link to comment

I went with he LS1 coils because they ares suppose to be a higher output spark and ironically they are AC Delco and made in Japan. The other ones are Hecho In Mexico. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mattndew76 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I had never looked into the performance. I went with what was given to me. I will groove the static mount plate so I can hide my trigger wires. Gotta keep the clutter down. I just want to see a motor and all the purdy things attached. No buffed aluminum or chrome. Only bead blast or dull finished colors. 2 Quote Link to comment
