Can a Sync-Link work with IDFs on reverse CB Space Saver manifolds?

Oh! Your brackets have a wider pattern than mine. My brackets bolt to the two studs that are on the enrichment circuit side. So they'd have to be against the firewall.

How did you get access to install them like that, and how do you adjust? Or is that not super critical with an FI system? |

The brackets mount to the outside bolts, now inside. You can see them in the pics. It was a pain in the ass to set up. The cables run thru notches in the dog house tin. The motor is a 2332, wedgeport, crank triggered. The coil pack is mounted on top of the trans. Ecu is CB gen 4. The car is a 54 convertible.

So are those wide brackets for sale through Sync-Link? Does anything need notching if I just run them out back instead of hidden, as intended?

I know this is an old thread, but do you have any pix of the wide brackets. I'm attempting this type of install now on my 67. |
