What you can also do instead of an Anderson Plug, is to put an insulated bolt somewhere in the engine bay and run it to your starter motor's battery supply. (Some BMW's have this and it is hidden with a black cover over it.)

VE/VF Commodores have the same set-up, except they have a red plastic cover over the +ve lug.

If you're going to relocate the battery, just bring a main cable from the battery up to meet the existing VR battery cable & mount your booster lug at that point.

To keep it both simple & reliable use as much from the factory Commodore wiring as you can.

Don't you remove the charcoal canister with the EFI setup? Thought it would be a closed system with a return line running to the tank.

Not correct. The carbon canister is to collect fuel vapours from the fuel tank in hot weather.

All cars in Australia from 1975 to current have a canister, or a similar set-up to collect those vapours for emission purposes.

When converting to EFI, the tank venting & canister etc. is no different.

also I've heard conflicting stories regarding the cross member. Any truth that the standard Holden T350/400 one will work for the T700?

The TH350 cross-member is very different to the TH400 item.

The TH350 is the only one to use. It just needs to be mounted slightly further back to allow for the fact that the 4L60E auto trans is a bit longer than the TH350, but the height is spot on.

Good to know. I was having trouble visualising a late model engine bay and where the canister might be.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the canister at the back, somewhere near the fuel tank? I assume the tank is where most of the vapours come from?

Personally, I like to be able to access my battery easily. Probably mostly cause I'm always pulling the buggers out to charge or swapping them over to another car.
