More BAC talk. Relocation?
I'm pretty new to the forums but have been doing my homework (I think). I'm working with an '87 6 port that doesn't need any emmissions crap.
I'm doing the "Full TB" mod to remove the secondaries and the thermowax. I would however like to keep the BAC and the cold start solenoid.
Has anyone relocated the BAC? I was thinking of mounting it to my EGR blockoff plate to clean things up. Will the heat there be a problem for it?
I figure in this location running water through it would be super easy and I'd just need to run a T-d vacuum line up to the end of the chamber.
Comments?
Thanks.

I guess you could get it to work there, But I can't justify the work. If it's really that much of an eyesore, I guess go for it. But i would just recommend that you leave it as is.

Ok, thanks for the comments. My BAC has two lines that look like water in/out as well as the pre-TB in, if these aren't water what are they? From the calcium deposits in them I was guessing it was a water jacket????
So the jist of what I've found on the forums here is you can either A) Remove the BAC altogether or B) Leave it where it is......
I guess I just dont follow very well cause I dont want to look at it but I want it to work.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll post pics when it's relocated and everything is polished.

My bad. I concidered the heating issue, but dismissed it as probably detrimental to the BAC. Didn't even think about the icing issue. Thank you for correcting that.
