heres the deal-yo. I peiced together an ignition setup for my 93 fd. I bought a Jacobs FC1000, along with a turbo 2 coil (came with an ignitior on it), and some jacobs plug wires. I have no clue where to mount the jacobs unit, and wasnt sure if i should use the stock FD ignitior, or the ignition thats on the FC coil. any help would be greatful, i am a little hazy on how this is going to set up.

 

You should eliminate the T11 ignitor and use the coils only , the + and - wires that go to the coil now should be connected to the trigger wires on the ignition amp , and the output wires from the amp conected to the coil.

 

do i need any ignitor now?

 

I mounted the box where the cruise controle is. And made a brackett for my fc coil and mounted it on the fuse box nut. As far as the wireing goes this link is very helpfull. (even though it is for an FC).

use the FD igniter it is behinf the cruise controle

 

hmm i have an R1, where would my cruise controll be?

 

ignitor is on driver side fender wall , near firewall.

 

yah i know where the stock ignitor is located. im probably just going to end up mounting the Jacobs the box in the cabin, is this a bad idea?

 

I think so. Why not just mount it as suggested? my jacobs pro pack (same size as fc1000) fits in that spot perfectly (rear driver's corner near ignitor).

Also, check your PMs.

 

true r1 doesnt have cruise. mount it where it is on base models in the empty space near the master cyclinder. i took off my cruise for that spot.

 

mine is an r1, I was asking where it "would be" if i did have it... the spot where rich is talking about, the stock ignitor is sitting there, where would i move that to?

 

thats what im trying to tell you. locate the coils and jacobs box to the empty area near the master cyclinder behind the driver's side strut tower.

 

i'll rig something up like goodfellas setup, that bracket he used looks pretty nice, hopefully i can dupe something like that

 

If you have a sleek headlight kit do what I did and mount it below the passenger side light housing. Plenty of room, it stays cool, and the wires will still be short (especially the power).

 

that sounds awsome, where did you route the wires?

 

Once you take out the headlight housing you'll see there are many place to route the power and ground, then I just ran the coil wires along the driver's side fender (Oh I forgot I also relocated my coil to where the cruise control used to be).

 

what can i use as a bracket to mount the coil, or do i need to fabricate one?

 

I have a spare bracket I can send ya with the PPF if you like

 

that would be awsome. then i can check out both spots for mounting and pick the best

 

definetly do the relocation, unclutters things and really improves the longevity of whatever coils you use.

 

looks like illl have to make some sort of mounting bracket, joy.

 

home depot/lowes is the answer. in mine the left side is mounted to strut tower, the right side to firewall.

 

i had mines installed in the upper left screwed right on the frame of the car more than enough room. ill post pics tomorrow to give you an idea
