alternate coil mounting points

[1990LTD]

....go! I am bracket-less on the passenger side of my engine and my coil wire can run pretty far apparently. Was thinking of mounting it in/around the area occupied currently by the (non functional) AC drier.



Got any pics of where you put your ignition coil? I'm guessing lots of fender mounted ones but if I put any more on that fender it would be cluttered imo...already got the fuse box and horn.

Not being particularly familiar with SEFI's... is there room tucked under he upper intake somehow? that'd be clean.

[1990LTD]

There is, actually, it would be pretty warm in there though I'd think.

I like where it is in the stock potion on the engine. On both my 87 and 91 I just used a piece of angle-aluminum mounted on 2 water pump studs. Solid as a rock and puts the coil in the factory position.

there next to the MSD box... it was mounted that way when I bought it.

I absolutely love that, I wish I had the skills to make it up. I can't fabricate shit.

[1990LTD]

Actually, I do have a guy that could make it up for me in like 5 minutes He makes stuff for the shop all of the time.



Do you feel like going at it with a measuring tape and getting some dimensions for me? Don't need the bolt holes, I can figure that out myself, but length and width and all of that fun stuff would be great.

actually ford came up with one, the cfi cars are mounted behind the alternator, i thought it was cool as hell, now i have to get me a older 85 and down bracket.

It's literally just a piece of 1/8" angle aluminum with 4 holes drill in it. I'm a firm believer in keeping things simple.

I despise that set up because it makes pulling the valve cover more of a PITA...mine is getting hacked up and I'll make a new bracket to come off the passenger side of the a/c upper bracket.

also, what's the purpose of the little guy that's mounted on the ignition coil bolt hole, attached to a 1 wire harness?

It's a noise capacitor. Your vic should have one... You should do a Cop coil conversion. 1 coil per cylinder.

[1990LTD]

Cool, I knew it was a cap but had no idea what for. My car does have one, but it's sitting on my desk at the moment. Getting the coil bracket made up tomorrow hopefully.


Also need a throttle body gasket before I can run the damn thing, I'll pick one up at lunch tomorrow.



Retrofitting COP sounds like as much fun as a Yanni concert.
