I went the extra step and added Mallory's line filter. I think it was like another $26 bucks. Figured that was cheap insurance against nuking a module. So I've got the ballast resistor, the line filter and the mallory (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Went with the line filter too. Easily mounts to side of dizzy and has the connectors. It's a plug-and-play.

See, I didn't find that it attached to the side of the dizzy all that well.... the whole flat surface against a round surface thing. So I mounted mine on the fan housing. I may move it to a different location this winter when I pull the engine and do some maint to the overall engine compartment.

A car with a fiberglass body or a cloth top convertible will not form a Faraday cage, sadly so unless we went full 916 metal top, the lightening will still fry us like the meat in a 914 sandwich due to the targa top open structure.
