HEI module mounting


Recommended Posts

I was under the impression that the HEI modules produce ALOT of heat. On the back of my 8 pin module there is a flat metal surface, i'm assuming this needs to be mounted to a metal as a heatsink with some thermal paste or something of that nature.

 

Anybody have any pics of mounting locations, or how you did your HEI ignition?

 

I'm using it for my megasquirt on my I6 not V8

See what's weird is I have mine mounted to a metal plate near where the OEM coil used to go (it has an MSD Blaster on it now I think...). Never had a problem until it came loose and shorted out (like a week after it happened to you Prox haha).

 

Put it back on with some thermal paste (and lock washers) and no problems at all. It doesn't get that warm in Flagstaff though, maybe here in Tucson I'll have to mount it on a heatsink...
