I just clocked my cartridge, moved the IWG bracket, and mounted the actuator and it looks like I'll go ahead and put it all in the fender and keep the battery in the engine bay since it's small (less than 5 lbs).
I think i ended up extending 6 wires total. I used 16ga wires for the smaller ones and i wanna say 8ga for the starter and power steering. Make sure to take your time, solder, and make solid connections so you dont have any weird electrical problems later. Also, surprisingly, everything fits thru the windshield washer reservoir hole right to the fender area. GL!
ps, make sure to make a proper heat shield between the battery and manifold. I ended up creating a slow smoldering fire due to my improperly fabricated heat shield lol
Thanks. I hate doing it, but I should be good on wiring and soldering as I used to work on component level electronics for the AF and still do it every now and again for my civilian job.
I actually just finished out swapping out the burnt out, non-serviceable lights on my Jeep for LED's.
