Here is an idea I had for big block applications. I'm really not sure about the appearance of it. What do you think? Too Ugly? Rich H. Esse Quam Videri

I just mount them with a piece of aluminum angle stock using the 2 holes on one side of the coil, but I haven't mounted one in that location yet. One of the beauties of those coils is they can be oriented in any location. I like to use the OEM-style pigtail connector.

The aftermarket ones costing 4 or 5x as much with aluminum brackets integrated Are slightly better but still awkward appearing in my opinion. I'm pretty well done running canister coils on anything I care about, so maybe I just need to get over the appearance and stop thinking old school. No big deal....thanks for the input. Rich H.

But it would seem that the electrical plug-in would be better off coming in from the left or right rather than straight up. Just wondering. Master, again and still

There's a good print out there on a jeep forum too, for diy. I'll kick this idea around for awhile yet, it doesn't need to be solved anytime soon. Rich H. Esse Quam Videri
