Coil pack mounts for a Twin Cam

[stugilmour]

Picture below shows a few commonly available Ford coil pack brackets for the Zetec.

Will one of these work OK for a Twin Cam? Where are they designed to attach? Are they sized for something that is easily available on a TC like the engine mounts or perhaps the fuel pump mounting bolts?

Basically trying to find an easy way to mount the coil pack.

Thx in advance

See if this link from the archive works.
I liked the solution of making a bracket that sits in the distributor housing - 2 jobs in one.

The two I like (haven’t got there yet)
1 Firewall beside starter solenoid
2 Front right inner fender-well

I think I will go 2 which will keep it more cool, but I have no clue if that really helps. I was thinking further, that keeping it away from fuel would be semi-smart?

Thanks for the link and suggestions. I had not reviewed that thread.

Unfortunately the obvious spots on/in the firewall and engine bay are already kinda crowded. I really don’t even have a feel for the coil pack size yet as I haven’t ordered anything. Real helpful to see the thing in place.

Really liking the distributor mount. Thanks for the excellent how-to photos. Will see what I can find.

Thanks

A little inspiration from me.

I went for front right under the throttle bodies as I felt it gave the cleanest installation. It’s extra cramped on my car due to the pedal box arrangement but it looks very clean now it’s all wired up. I had to fabricate the bracket up myself and there are some rubber packers which take out some of the slight misalignment with the body and help isolate some of the vibration.

Very nice Mark. This pre-made mount from Trigger-Wheels looks pretty close to what you came up with and might be a good option.

I have ordered up a Trigger-Wheels flat bracket along with a thickish distributor bung & holding clamp that I hope I can use to mount the coil pack where the dizzy is now. Going to take a bit of a MacGyver effort to work though.
