Here is where I ended up putting my coil. I need to clean up my wiring and then I just need my Christmas presents (pro port heads from Blair) to show up and I can start building my headers! Jim

I have been running the coil on my Fairmont on the drivers side inner fender with a 2 foot long coil wire for 30 years, with no issues. And although it is often said that it is important to keep the coil away from heat and vibration, yet many old Fords are still running with their factory issued "yellow top" coils bolted to the intake manifold or cylinder head 1/2 century later.

To keep my engine bay clean, I mounted my MSD coil and MSD 6al box under my dash, and has no issues.
Plus,..... it keeps both dry and cool.

Hell,....if Chip "the man" Foose does this, I can as well.    ;)
