I am looking for some pictures of where/how you mounted your after market ignition coils.
I made a bracket for mine that uses the top two brake master cylinder mounting studs. This will locate the coil above the master cylinder up and away from the engine heat. I would like to see other coil locations before I start wiring in case I want to move mine again.
Thanks

I made a bracket to work with the original coil bracket bolt holes on the intake manifold.
 I really like that, mine is on the inner fender right now... Any pics of just the bracket?

As I recall it's very basic, just a flat piece of aluminum with 2 holes drilled for the old mounts and then 4 new holes for the new coil. Check to make sure the air cleaner has clearance before marking and drilling the new coil holes.

Here is another bracket that I made for a different MSD coil. This idea is like the one that Lefty showed.
That's the same coil I run, but I thought the instructions said to keep it away from direct engine heat and vibration..?

Off topic, what was the concensus on a prior thread: that stock coils should be mounted horizontle (like oe) and epoxy filled ones could go either way?

I was told by Mallory that the epoxy coils can be mounted in ANY orientation. This is how I ended up mounting mine, away from the engine heat and a 22" Firecore coil wire  . Thanks again for the replies.

Here is another view.
Note: The 22" Firecore coil wire measured 5X less resistance than the Taylor 14" coil wire that I removed.
I will be getting a full set from Rick as soon as the budget allows.
