Hey guys...
I'm rewing the engine bay of the 70 Charger with a new harness from Evans wiring. I HAD the coil mounted on the RH fender apron but since this harness is a factory based reproduction, the wiring is too short to extend to the coil. I am willing to relocate the coil to sit in front of the carburetor, mounted to a threaded boss on the intake.
I am running an MSD Blaster 2 coil. Their instructions state that mounting the coil UPRIGHT is recommended. They state elsewhere that the coils are designed to use "most" factory mounting brackets. On the MSD website, they state that the coils are oil filled. Aren't stock coils also oil filled? It seems that Ma Mopar mounted all the coils laying on the side with a few exceptions.
I could solder in longer wires to reach the fender apron, but I sorta like the cleaner look of mounting it on the intake. Opinions?
