Chris, remember that the 1977 Midget has a unique wiring diagram. The '78
and later cars are different. The mounting you described is exactly correct.
I guess I'll have to wait until some car shows and check out other Midgets.
(Cars, that is.)

Allen, the ones I saw are about 2 1/4 inches apart, laid out
horizontally about 1 inch down from the loop of fuel vapor tubing, and
look like they maybe take a 10-24 screw. (All measurements are strictly
by eyeball.) They're above the fuse box. Is that the mounting point?
Perhaps there's something >else< bolted in there on the California cars,
or the spot is covered with other stuff.
