Looking for a step by step instructions for this as I dont want to screw anything up, and trust me, it will happen w/o. Were did everyone mount theirs and how did everyone go about this? Thanks

 

ditto..what are the benefits...just the heat issue

 

????

 

Well, if you do it, you might as well relocate the spark control module too, since it connects up to it. You won't gain anything as far as performance, but the coil/scm would last longer.

 

I'd think you have to mount it to a metal panel or somewhere that it can ground against the back of it. My ICM plug isn't long enough and I don't want to cut and sauder those wires back together. Then you'll have a longer coil wire to run as well. Just doesn't seem worth it.

 

most people just take the two studs off that holds on the icm/coil and just put the bracket on the outside of the nut instead of against the head.

 

I was JUST about to post this question up. Will the method mentioned above help reduce arcing to the head?

 

Are you talking about this?

^^ that's the only write-up I've ever seen for this.

On a related note, I've attached two pictures that I took when I had everything apart during the wp replacement. What the crap is this little black thingey? It looks as if it's supposed to mount along with the coil somewhere, but I couldn't figure it out for the life of me, so I left it hanging, lol. Any suggestions?

 

i dont see the pics...

 

yup no pics

 

im thinking about mounting it on the firewall. i have the OTVC wires so i can run the wire through the looms. i can extend the power wires easily. if i can get that head bare, ill get a plate made up like the LS1s have on their pass head.

 

I mounted mine on the back of the core support, directly across from the fusebox. I have an LS1 style air intake, so no CAI in the way. I right angle drill with some self drilling screws will get it done.

 

lid f t w!

 

Ok, so I finally got to a computer that'll upload pics...

What is this thing?!?!

 

Man why would you want to even do that? What's the gain?

 

I always thought the coil wire was supposed to be as short as possible, therefore as close to the distributor as possible.

 

No takers?? I'm pretty sure I should attach it sooner or later, it is just dangling there, lol.

 

I spaced my ICM, otherwise known as the ICM cooling mod, it definitely doesnt get that hot anymore

I thought about relocating it to the fenderwell, but didnt want to extend the two harnesses (coil and icm)

 

fuel canister purge tube. for some reason my car doesnt have that thing.

off topic:im running ROH SP on my car too.do you have pics of your car on this site?
