Hello again.
I'm installing a reproduction wiring harness in the 70 Charger. For several years, I had the coil mounted vertically on the RH fender apron near the alternator. The coil wiring isn't long enough to reach that position, so I'm thinking of mounting the coil on the intake in front of the carburetor, like stock. Putting it there will look cleaner and the wires will reach.
The instructions that came with the MSD coil are a little vague. They state that the coil is designed to use the factory mounting brackets but later it reads that mounting the coil vertically is recommended. All the factory coils were mounted horizontally, right? What could be different about the MSD coil to warrant a different position?
Who has actually had trouble with their coils by mounting them on the side?
Yeah... I could just solder in longer wires to reach the fender apron, but I sorta like the idea of cleaning up the area to look less cluttered.
Opinions?
