Jim,

Not only FI cars have it mounted to the left of the generator though both my 
dual carbs have it there as well..  But didn't some of them have it mounted on 
the fan housing near the middle of the car.  I've seen these in photos but I 
'm not sure if its a stock placement or an after market "we needed to put it 
there because we added such and such here and there was nowhere else to put 
it" setup.  I think I've only seen them on post 66 to pre 70 vehicles though.  
Could be wrong?
