8 pin Hei problem

You say to the "right of" You mean outboard of (actually left) or inboard......towards the center of the car

If it's outboard of the master, I doubt you will find a cooler place in the bay

I had my 4 pin mounted above my dist. on the firewall and it "lived."

Actually I used the firewall as a heat sink as an experiment.

Stuff does fail occasionally
