ECU CORRECT LOCATION on a 1969 Dodge Superbee

...I don't see a problem with using a stock coil on the MoPar ECU, as they were made to work together. Let us know how it goes.

.....your ride looks like it rolled off the line that way......

That's a great looking engine compartment kiwi and nicely engineered with the latest work.

Thanks Mr Tallhair :hello2: It may not be a 100 point car, but I try to make it as good as possible.

I see you have a non a/c car. If you going for the "could have been there from the factory" look, you have more room to work with than us a/c folks, there's just not quite enough room in that area for us

Always difficult consideration to drill into a virgin factory panel.

I actually apologized to my Satellite when mounting the passenger's side mirror.

YY1,

I have a 67 A/C car, and was thinking of going that route there too, and oh'boy it's going to be tight in there. Also, yes, Fiste is my dude. "Steeeern!"

Another view - '70 GTX - still not available factory fitted in this year either...however it looks tidy there.

Kiwi,

Ok, I got the set installed and went with the bonded solution, as I created a really nice ground solution with a 10ga wire setup. The car runs great. I highly recommend that if one wants to avoid punching holes in a firewall, to perform the steps that I vetted this weekend.

Nice work on that conversion

Nice work on that conversion

I made an aluminum template with a 1/2 inch gap for thermal clearance. I used a grey RTB silicone that helps bonding but will not vibrate loose over time. In fact, I made my grounding solution better by pre-scoring the star-washer all the way around the bolt fitting to ensure the zinc left particles in the paint. Perfect conductor. The bad-boy fired up on the first crank, no kidding.

The new ECU also seems to have smoothed out my idle issues too. I'm going to add the configuration to the 67 also.

This is where I started out a few years ago by using a hole behind the Voltage Regulator that a previous owner had made. My MoPar boxes were stuck to the top of the heater box using Velcro adhesive squares. Hides the wiring nicely, but a PITA when problems need to be solved.

Fastforward to March this year, and i installed my Rev-n-nator. Tried to run in stealth mode to avoid the extra holes in the firewall....

trouble is, that I felt that the bracket I had constructed might have been vibrating on the firewall - grounding was fine, I just wanted it firm on the steelwork. So I eventually did this a few weeks ago...

rewired with a new Mopar ECU loom...

and I am happy with that. It actually looks like it was meant to be there. Hope that helps somewhat.

Kiwi,

Just FYI, but the bonded solution has worked perfectly so far, so still no metal was harmed in the making of this film, hehe.
