Interestingly enough, going over the instructions on the install, I see that the annunciator will warn me if the ignition is getting too hot

No fried ignitions for me!

After 2 and a half hours of searching, I finally found a suitable place for the computer control. The engine bay is extremely cramped with the motronic set up, but I finally found and installed the ignition computer-physically, not yet wired in, coil and secondary trigger is not hooked in as of yet, maybe tomorrow. I was getting tired of waiting for my days off, so I began the procedure, but won't be finished with it all till my first day off (Wednesday). 10 points to the first person who can guess where I mounted the computer.

I would also say passenger side, but specifically against the fender wall and very close to the firewall, so as not to interfere with the windshield water reservoir... If you went for the area around the headlight, so as to hide the unit, that would have been (or was when I did it) my choice for the (smaller) coil unit...

Best regards,

Finally got everything in its place (except for the interior items), nothing is wired up just yet-tomorrow-hopefully. My Dad has brought over 2 vans to me to get worked on (GEEEZ!!!!!). Even my days off I'm being overworked!

My fiancee's ex husband is going to take care of one work van for me, so I'm going to go outside right now and get started on my install. Pics coming soon, including the hidden computer...lol.

It works

!!!!! Just got to install the interior items, go to the hardware store, pick up a grommet and regap the plugs-I'll do the plugs first, yes, regapping iridium plugs

Not supposed to, but is possible if you're careful.

I'm also curious to see the results with the iridiums, since I'm a firm believer that the Jacobs can handle just about anything from mild to radical...
