If you have a two nozzle system one on the drivers footbox, the other on the fuel inlet of the carb.
Three nozzle, same as above, but other on the engine compartment by the firewall shooting forward. Again the whole idea is not to put the fire out (at least not with Halon in an open cockpit car such as the Cobra), but to give you the occupant enough time to get safely out of the car. The car can be replaced, your life cannot be.
Also, something very important to think about is a worst case scenario (whatever that is in your mind) where you are strapped into your seat with the four(five/six) point harness.....Can you reach the activation handle/switch/button........If not, then you need to rethink where you have it mounted.
