moved coil

Post by 19674x4 »

well i needed to get a bracket to support my throtle return spring and he coil bracket just wasn't cutting it for me, so i got a throttle spring bracket and moved my coil to the front of the block and extended my wires to reach it. When the sun goes down to when i can get some decent pics i'll get some.

Yea, I like the coil a lot better there as well and moved mine on my 390. I don't know why I didn't do it years ago. I was inspired by someone else here.

I've got mine in the same spot. Seems to me that it would stay cooler.

my power steering pump is kind of in the way so it has to sit at an angle, but thats fine with me. I like it because it makes the engine look less clutered.

I don't see why not. It doesn't really matter where it's located as long as it is wired correctly.
