Hello,

I have an 89 gt and I'm in the process of an engine rebuild. I have went ahead and repainted under the hood while the engine is out, and I was wondering if I can hide some of the ugly wiring. I have seen several stangs in magazines and online that are missing the starter coil from the original location...driver side on the fender by the battery. Where are these guys relocating that? Is the best location to mount it behind the fender, on the inner fender? Does someone out there have the starter coil relocated, and if so can you shed some light on where\how to relocate this mess? I just want to cleanup under the hood as best I can, and while I have the engine out it seems like the perfect time. Thanks for the help.

I have mine relocated under the drivers side fender, mounted in the stock bracket that I modified. It sits under the battery.

I think I have a problem here.

Thats is a nice write-up on how to do that. Now, just tear into a SN95 and make one of those as well!!! If you ever get around to it let me know, I would be interested in seeing how you do it.
