Hi all,
Doing the conversion and need to relocate the coil packs. Seen threads talking about it and the photos of the installed engine I cannot locate where they are relocated.
Does anyone have a photo of a good location to put them.
I assume where ever I put them they will need a good ground to the engine?
Cheers

The coil packs are on the back of the engine just above the thermostat. They will most likely press up against the firewall when I put the body back on.
One option I have is to just unbolt them & put the body on and see what happens I guess
Cheers

That's what I'd do. They won't care where they are.

Thanks Steve.
Just need to sort out the fuel tank and I'll put the body back on.
Cheers, Aaron

He'd have this setup:  I've never seen one in the flesh so not sure what model they came off.

Make up a bracket to bolt them to the firewall. You may have to buy longer leads but it'll look neat there
