Help mounting a Blaster coil

[jwinkler]

Curt -

Thanks for the reply - I went to your photo album, and had a shazam! moment when I saw the picture of how you mounted your coil in the engine bay.

Unfortunately, I've got cruft in the way on both sides of the engine bay - on the driver's side, the P/S pump hoses are in the way, and on the passenger side the stock CR overflow bottle is in the way.

However, I went back to another thread I started when the Mallory went south. Don posted some engine bay pics, and in those the coil is mounted right beside the distributor. I went back and looked again, and I think I can mount it there. However, there's a possibility that the bottom of the coil will rest against the water pump housing/timing cover. Logically, this shouldn't be a problem - the coil will be held in a bracket mounted to the engine, and thus subject to vibrations anyway, so I don't see how contact with the timing cover would be a problem. However, I'd still like to run this by folks with more experience and smarts than me for verification.

Thanks,

JLW
