I had originally installed a 45deg oil filter adapter as well, but once I got everything into the car, the steering rack was very close. It ended up I didn't even need the adapter despite all the recommendations contrary. I've got way more room to get it out now. I had the RMS front end, so...
Sorry, should have clarified that I was running the power cable for the ECU that way. Any signal wires are routed to the front in the opposite direction.
Nice, very clean. I ran my power cables where the rear speakers wires used to go. That worked out really well, except for the time that I almost started a fire reinstalling my door entry guards.
Mine is a '72, but USCT recommended the front frame connectors as well for my 392 swap. I'm using the RMS front end. Supposedly it eliminates some vibration issues. They mount just in front of the front torque boxes. You may want to look into those.
I had plans for mounting the coil drivers, relay and fuse, but it worked out pretty well just shoving them into the void. If they rattle around or want to fall down I'll revisit it. I'm curious what you come up with.
I second the wiring coming in near the tunnel. Mine is a little more on the firewall, but in the same area. It let me run the wires up underneath the heater box. I ended up mounting my terminator in the glovebox so all the wiring went in front of the dash. Wires are still dangling in the...
I have the RMS front suspension, but a 45° adapter clears everything. I have just enough room to get the filter out. Might be worth mocking up before deciding which way to go.
Don't mind me, just taking notes. An electric antenna is on my wishlist. Is the trunk divider just what's going behind the rear seat or is it something else?
If you wanted to, you could order your acrylic from sendcutsend with the holes already cut and the panel to shape. Something to consider if your cutting/drilling skills are somewhat questionable like mine.
That's clean looking. Mine is a bit rotted out there and I will most likely be relocating my battery, so I might have to steal this idea. How did you attach it?
I was thinking something similar but I was going to put the ECU in the glove box. I was planning on putting the coil drivers and relay on a bracket behind the cigarette lighter, but I haven't gotten that far. I really don't want to have to extend part of the harness, but I might not have a...
If you can do the CAD, then there are a few places you can buy 3D prints from the cloud. Xometry and Cloud3DPrint are a few. The prices are pretty reasonable.
Very cool. If you're any good at 3D modeling, seems like a good project for 3D printing. Otherwise you could get a mounting plate made from some thin sheet metal by SendCutSend.
