Re: Where is your coil mounted

Wherever you mount it, make sure that it has a clear path to the motor. The spark energy needs to make a complete loop back to the coil. If you make it easier, there is less ignition noise and less stress on components.

WOW!!!!!! Very clean engine bay. Mine is mounted just below there off of a ground on the firewall. The shorter the distance to teh distributor the better the spark energy will transmitted.
