How close can the coil be mounted to the ECU? I'm out of real estate under the hood and i'm mocking everything up and have the ignition box mounted where my wiper motor used to be and the ECU on the pass side firewall and the coil will be about an inch or 2 from the ECU with the spark tip facing away from the ECU. Is this too close? Will it cause some kind of interference with the ECU?
Coil, ECU, Ign Box... I can't figure where and how to mount everything.. WHERE??

Depending on how big it is, you may be able to hide it under the front on the center console. I have component speakers in my car and thats where i hid the crossovers.

Is everyone using the Earl's 29G001ERL grommet for their firewall hole?
From memory that looks like it’s big enough
It seems that the dimensions from internet says it will allow 2.25 pass through. I used a door knob hole saw 2.125 ? and it was a very tight squeeze.
so drill or bore through a piece of scrap before you commit to a size, and test the harness pass through. …it would have saved me some hand work with a rotary file if I had done that.

I can see where a good SPLIT grommet would probably work better. Any recommendations?
😆 I was just thinking how bada$$ you were, wrestling all that stuff through that grommet. I made a mess of the one I had!!
I have a tendency to pick the file specks out of the pepper, so I made my own, out of a piece of aluminum and some sheet rubber that I had laying around.
Also used this to make the one for the clutch rod penetration in the fire wall. I might have done that for the Speedo cable hole to ……there’s a lot of holes in the firewall.

LOL
I've found that some sound deadener like boom mat or Noico 80mill makes a pretty good hole cover'er

Ok, so i've mounted the ECU under the passenger seat and i'm playing with the wiring. What wire feeds the tach? I can't seem to find one to go to my tach. On my HEI, I had the red (batt) and a green (tach) . I'll use the red as my switched ign source but what feeds the tach wire?

I am going to test the circuit first. I'm pretty sure it's the one coming out of the fuse block from the ign fuse which I believe is a switched power. Work has me running so crazy right now that i don't have time to spend more than a minute on it so it'll be this weekend before I can play with it serious so I was just inquiring.. Thanks

Ok ….what version are you using. Terminator, sniper, Dominator? Maybe there are different harnesses.

Terminator X
Just got off the phone with Holley Tech, My harness does not have that wire pre wired so I have to "pin" my own on pin "A28" on the larger ECU connector or pin "H" on the ign harness at the distributor connector.. if I understood him correctly

or I can order a harness from EFI System Pro with a wire already pinned Connector Harness, Terminator EFI to Holley HyperSpark Distributor V2
Ok ….I’m using the X Max so there’s the difference I suppose.
I like easy….and $25 isn’t a lot 👍

$25 is cheap in the grand scheme but expensive for one wire.. I really want to get this done over the weekend so I'm going to see what I can do to pin it myself

Where are you guys connecting your vacuum line for the MAP sensor?
The only manifold port I have is a 3/8 for the brake booster. Can I attach a vacuum line to the small nipple on the carb throttle body base plate? OR????
