FE coil mount on 2 x 4 intake
 
What type of bracket is being used on the dual quad intake or block to mount the coil and where? I'm having a hard time seeing a coil in most of the pictures I find. I've seen single bolt coil brackets (for a Mustang I believe) and two-bolt coil bracets.

I found one picture that looked like the coil was partly hidden under plug wires on the front driver side of the intake. Can't see the bracket clearly however.

I use a single bolt bracket bolted to the front of the driver side head!

Same here, lots of aftermarket brackets out there for the mounting too.

Yup, thats the way I got mine bolted, drivers side head with bracket.

OK - I need a single bolt bracket. Thanks

DanEC , don`t kn ow how accurate you are trying to be , but Ford originally bolted the coil to the front of the driver side head as the others have said , but used the bracket that held the fuel filter/can as a stop/locator . The original bracket had a little tab on it that acted as a stop against the fuel filter bracket . My Galaxie is that way and every 427 I`ve seen is also set up like that . I know Donahue Collector Cars in FL has those brackets . The thing you would need to check is coil diameter vs the I.D. of the bracket as some of the aftermarket coils are a different diameter than the original . Most are bigger and will work ... the smaller ones cause a problem .

You want to keep an oil-filled coil vertical. As said go on the front of the head, not the intake.

This is an early picture when I was doing placement layout but this is where the coil lives now, although turned more upright.

Do you have a pic of that bracket you could post?

Dearborn Classics also has original style brackets, but sounds like they have been modified to adjust to different coil diameters.

What I meant to type was do you have a pic of the coil bracket mounted to the fuel filter bracket vs on the intake as most do when using the fuel filter cannister?

Bobcat 04-06-2010 06:42 AM
DougD ... I`ll try to get a picture of the setup on my Galaxie today and post it .

Actually that's a great pic. Thanks for posting it. I did not realize that was an option for mounting the coil when using an original-style fuel filter cannister.
