Conversions & Hybrids - Where to relocate Coils?

Where do U think would be the best place to put a set of Truck coils on a 70 Camaro????(besides the valve covers) What Do I need to do to make this happen?

I've been thinking about doing this as well, so here's a 'bump' for ya. :)

Since you omitted a picture showing the engine compartment, there is no way to guess what you already have mounted (or plan to mount) on the Firewall and/or the fender/tire wells.

Pic's help.

I have seen that the YearOne Camaro has them between the head and the firewall. If you have enough room, that would put them out of the way..

But not knowing what your engine bay looks like and what your opjective is.. hard to make a recommendation. I guess almost anywhere would put them in a cooler place than on top of the valve covers.. Firewall/Fenders, etc

anybody mount them on the front member (K member or something like that?) Plus what wires do U use? Can U use make to custom wire set or do truck coils have different plug-in for the coils? Plus do you need the brackets for the coils to act as a ground or are they only there for mounting to valve cover? And why do some farts hurt and others dont?

I sure as heck wouldn't mount coils to a part of the suspension like the K-member - I'd be concerned that they'd be subject to a lot of vibration. At least on the "sheetmetal" parts (firewall, inner fenders) the vibrations have had a chance to be more dispersed/attenuated...

Not even gonna speculate on the other questions... :lol:

I had thought about mountung the one for my chevelle in the cowl.

... Plus what wires do U use? Can U use make to custom wire set or do truck coils have different plug-in for the coils? ...

I need this info too, what type of boot is needed for each end and is there a universal "cut to fit" kit available?

TIA!

I mounted mine on each inner fender. The relocation kits are easy to make. I used some tube I have thats just slightly larger than 1/4" ID for the spacers and 1/4" all thread rod hold it all together. The brackets are stainless steel pieces that I already had at home.

That sure looks good,,ls1mcss. much better than sitting on the VC's...Think I'll try that on my 71 chevelle.... Nice VC's.....
