Hotwire question

Post by sowat »

Going from 3.5 carb to 3.9 hotwire in my Devon
Mocked up the efi on my old engine in the car for set up
To fit the avaliable space can I turn the airflow meter 90 degrees so the wiring connection is at the top ? or mount it behind the engine up on the bulkhead were I have more room ?

Range Rover throttle cable bracket, this is too wide is a smaller one avaliable ?

Thanks

Don't think a hotwire unit will be worried about orientation.
