Paul -

I've now reached the point where most of the fuel system components have
been mounted & are ready for final plumbing.  I'm now looking where to
install (mount) the spark igniters.  An obvious location would be on the
firewall.  This would serve to minimize the distance from the battery to
the igniter, but would maximize the distance from igniter to spark
plug.  Conversely, I could probably dream up way to mount them on the
airbox -- minimal distance from the plugs, but a 3'+ run from the
battery.  Is there any particular preference one way vs. the other, or
is this just down to whatever looks good?

Usually an attempt is made to keep the hi tension leads as short as
possible to minimise electromagnetic radiation interference
with the radios. I would also keep the low voltage wiring
connections away from any possible contact with leaking fuel out of
the airbox. Bolting a bracket to the engine just above
the spark plugs would be ideal. Here are a few suggestion.
the first is the way Al Gietzen did his.
