Huggie has pointed out to me that this probably won't work on a car with a log manifold.

Cheers

/slaps head. lol your right BenJ, not exactly the same way, but I reckon a bolt form the idle control stepper could be used to mount the coil instead, same sorta area, coil lead should still reach the dizzy.

I do like where the coil is relocated - your next mission is to make the TFI remote from the Dizzy, then I can copy that too . . . . . :P

I'm doing it with a custom distributor I'm building for my mighty boy. TFI is planned to me mounted on the firewall, still unsure if the length of the wiring will make any negative impact on it's operation.

That is a very neat little article.

I like it.

Might go and visit Jaycar during the week and check out their heatsink range.

Very helpful link :idea: I was toying with the idea of trialling various heatsinks, even making one out of aluminium, and of course the paste is very important.

I'd guessed it'd already done, you can disconnect the pins from the cct board inside, and make a flow through for the three wires , making a 'dummy' TFI as per the link above. Keeps crap, etc out of the dizzy.

Shouldn't do - the std wiring back to the ECU has a long path - as always, make sure your connections are done well. The only lines I can think of that are shielded is the data bus behind the dash, to the trip comp and climate (EF/EL).

My idea is to have these components remote to each other(hall effect/TFI/coil), and have breakout lines going to a 'diagnostic' plug, which you connect a basic testbox, to check PIP, SPOUT, injector pulse, coil power etc. The engine at cranking should provide all of this.
This is similar to TimmyA's units, but more basic - just with LED's.
The idea is to be able to do roadside testing, and replace the component giving the problem - should be simple to do, only part that would be a PITA would be the hall effect.
