Quick Holley FI Question

Rob Petrie E395 · 07-31-2013, 04:14 PM

Will it hurt to mount the ECU and my MSD 7AL box near each other. Trying to avoid problems down the road. And was not sure if the MSD box would make electrical noise that would mess with the ECU. Read the whole instruction book and did not see anything. Tried calling Holley and current Tech assistance wait time is about 2 hours. Hoping someone here would know.

Its a Commander 950 if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the help

Rob, I see MSD boxes right in front of the passenger seat, where mine is. Then the ECU on the slope where the passenger's fet would be. Don't know of anybody having problems.

never had a problem with msd and commander 950 next to each other but it rose hell with my E-Shift controller.If you could keep them as far apart as possible it couldn't hurt.

Ok thanks guys. No E shift YET. Not in the budget hopefully this winter it will be so thats good to know. This is what I ended up with. Probably over thinking some stuff trying to avoid problems later.

Sorry to be a little off topic. But, are E-shifters allowed in ALL stockers? Regardless of year, fuel injection and carb?

I think its just the FI cars that came with a electronic shift transmission from the factory. I know its something like that. Just reread what you wrote I dont think we are allowed "electric shifters" but the cars I wrote about above are allowed the electronic valve body trans. Again not 100 percent sure. Hopefully someone will clairify it better than I can.
