SDPC intake base for vortec heads and TPI.
The holes for the ignition coil bracket aren't drilled it appears. Any suggestions?

Can't make them work from what I found. Bolt hole spacing is too far apart, and that means the stock bracket is too narrow...you'd have to add metal to make it work IIRC.
You *might* be able to slot the one end, so one bolts in, the other slides under the other bolt, but I don't know as I like that idea as it relates to clamping the intake down. Then again, the Vortec intake requires so little bolt pressure to seal, it might work.
I mounted my coil on the firewall, but it's a different application so there were some spare threaded holes that worked.
