The electromotive system has the same coil pack setup as the modern
day GM TPI engines, including the Grand National, most FWD 3800cc
engines, Camaros & Vettes.

The whole EFI is one piece (Electromotive), so it goes on top of your
intake, or on your firewall. If you have a dual-carb hi-rise plenum,
it fits under certain ones, but it will get fairly hot and shorten its
life. Firewall is the best place.

The you'd have to cut holes in your firewall for the plug wires and
wiring harness.

Well, I'm going with the GM OEM stuff simply because its a fun
project, and I can invest time for nearly free rather than buying
something for $1000. have to save some cash for the fabrication work
to make this all fit.

Naaah, I'll post pictures on the 'net and let everyone check it out
for free, not in the business of making money on these things... I do
them because I enjoy "fangling" and I get to learn stuff, which is the
whole point. Otherwise, I'd just plop a mopar crate motor in with a
big carb and be done with it. Certainly less effort than all this
welding of injector bungs and such.
