    im installing an msd coil, and i want to get rid of the whole stock coil bracket and just mount the coil on the firewall. am i asking for trouble moving those two modules that are mounted on the bracket? i was just going to attach them to the firewall.

    do they have a ground wire on them or do they even need to be grounded? if they do need to be grounded scrape some paint off to get a good ground ( just incase ) you dont want arckey sparkey :lol:

      the only part grounded to the bracket from what I recall is the radio suppression capacitor the square thingy off the coil.
      If you want to be sure I usually run a dedicated ground wire with a ring terminal under the terminal I am connecting to the body. kind of a double ground. (sometimes called overkill).
      it runs so sweet

                      I just looked and my doohickymajigs say "Betty Crocker" and "Just My Size." I think some female may have modded this thing before I got to it!
