IMOP thats how i would do it...

Thanks DE2; the majority seem to favor the under hood location - keep it as close to the distributor as possible.

Dave that's why it still has a Posi unit in it & stock axles.....may be why it drives so good too!

On the Nova it is mounted inside on the pass foot well, with continuous wire between the coil and the dist. We have never tried it with a shorter wire location to see if it makes any difference.
