Relocation or Remounting Ignition componets

[IT310]

If the stock location is not sutible for the coil that your using, can you remount the ignition coil somewhere else? For example inside the passenger compartment.

I wouldn't see why not, you can use "any" coil.

I'll be curious what others say since I have a car that the coil got moved (slightly) since it is a different shape than stock.

ITCS 17.1.4.d.1.E. Any ignition system which utilizes the original distributor for spark & distribution is permitted.

How does the wiring harness rule figure in to this?? The coil is part of the stock harness, right??

In other words, is having the coil "free" make anything that it connects to free?

An academic question, really...

Are the coils part of the legal "Any ignition system"?

Well, it doesn't say you can remove the old system. And it doesn't say where you have to put it.

Most people have hooked the ignition up where it is suitable to them. When I went from a VW coil to a Accel coil, the new coil was square. I located it somehwere else.

It seems implied in the rules that you can remove the unused (replaced) stock ignition parts. It also seems implied that since our are replacing the parts, they wont be stock, and won't be the same size or fit in the same location.

Put them where you want them.
