I have an Edelbrock Performer (NOT RPM) on my 440. Where have you guys mounted the coil? There doesn't seem to be a spot for the stock coil bracket. Was thinking about using a 6 pack coil bracket. Any suggestions?

Have you considered mounting your coil away from the motor since you don't have a specific bracket for that intake?
This method would keep your coil running cooler and you could use the 6-pac bracket and maybe fab up a second bracket and hang it elsewhere using a longer coil wire.

The problem with the mounts is that they are designed for an AFB/AVS style carb. Running a dual feed Holley you're not getting the coil on there. I decided to use one of the holes (the one furthest from the carb) and use a Ford Windsor coil bracket, which only has one mounting hole and the bracket wraps around the coil.
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat

I have the CH28 (Dual Quad) I have the MSD coil. I was forced to mount it upright because of a leakage issue with the Blaster II coils. I got a Mr Gasket special with the chrome brackets and the sleeve. Both ears are mounted on the valley pan hold down plates...In direct line with the fan blowing on it....add insult to injury, its even stuffed under a Six-Pack type air cleaner...It might get a little hot in its current position....I didn't have an alternative. I dont want a coil wire running to the fender or the firewall.

Neither do I. I will make it work. I also have the MSD Leaker2 coil. I gotta get rid of that thing. Is there a good, leak free alternative that mounts in a stock type bracket?
MSD has an epoxy filled blaster coil that looks just like the oil filled ones.
