My purpose for this post is to help other VAF members in their EI decision and installations as so many others have helped me. I got a new Iphone about the same time as the EFII which made it easy to post lots of pictures. I did get a free hat, but no other free stuff or compensation.
I received my EFII single ignition in the mail a couple days ago, I purchased it to help replace my single "dual" bendix mag. I researched VAF and spoke to 3 different electronic ignition suppliers before I chose EFII. I came up with the same conclusions as "Walkman" 's excellent post on the subject. The best part of EFII over competitors was the crank sensor, the only downside was the prefabbed wire harnesses required large passthroughs. I thought I would add photos of my install to help other people make their decision.
The main reason I chose EFII was the Sensor.
My ring gear was sent off about 4 weeks prior to get the magnets installed.
The sensors mounts on the existing engine case bolts.
The alternator bracket bolt must be installed first, the mount is machined around it.
I mounted the coil to the firewall with a stiffener on the back. The coil comes with a very nice mount/mag block off plate but I only have one mag hole on my a accessory case and it will be used by my converted single mag.
I mounted the ECU upside down from angles on the left and middle forward ribs.
More to come as I route the wiring. I may try to consolidate the EFII wiring harness with the engine sensor wiring, we will see.
