#1stop install question

Straightliner · 07-16-2012, 11:14 AM

Where should I be trying to mount the electric part of it (solenoid), close to the stop or can it be on the firewall or a bracket nearby? Does anybody have any pics I could see.

It says it should be away from heat and or fuel spills. this is going on a BBC 70 Nova.

Thanks in advance.

sorry no pic. but i mounted mine right on the firewall. as close to stop as possible about a foot away. kept the hoses short and out of the way...

I mounted the solenoid to the baseplate. Mine is the 2 stage stop and it seems like back of the solenoid was slotted and fit on there perfectly. Just had to drill and tap the baseplate. The hoses going to the cylinders are less than 6" long. Very clean look. I'll try to get you a picture in the next day or so.
