EFI Conversion-need reference distance

Hi all,
I am into an EFI conversion on the SC. I am mounting the coils where the CDI/rear fusebox was. I need to build new plug wires, and I need the distance from that location to any point on the engine. I tried to approximate the distance, but I would prefer to have a better approximation. Engine is out of the car, on the test stand, which is what is making this difficult.
TIA
Pat

The location of your coil pack is going to make for a long length to get to the 4,5,6 bank. Have you considered mounting the coils in a central location like back by the breather cover area or on another mount off the engine above and on center. This would make a pretty even split for the plug wires and the components would mostly be hidden.

No need to build your own coilpack to plug wire set if you order these:

Usually they mount the coilpack at the back firewall.


Cheers,

Joe

Just last week I dropped 2.7 runners onto my 930 motor to see how to build fuel rails and a plenum. Happy to see I'm not the only one thinking about this arrangement.

Sorry Pat, no help on wire lengths

Thanks anyway, guys. I have a fairly close approximation.
Jim2, I have the same SDS setup. I figured all along I would mount the coils where the CDI was, and the ECU in a box on the rear seat area. I had Ross make up the harnesses to those lengths, so I am sort of stuck with what I have.
