coil mounting location ?
 
I found a perfect spot to mount my blaster 2 coil. On the drivers side head. Would the coil get damaged because of too much heat or vibration. :confused:

I don't particularly like to put them there but it is ok. I have seen a lot of cars with the coil mounted there. It is mounted there on my F-150. I like it better on the fender somewhere to get it out of the way for when I am working on the car. I would say that you would want your bracket to be pretty sturdy to reduce vibration.

If you plan on racing, some tech inspectors like to see the coil mounted as close to the dizzy as possible.
Why...I don't know.

I've got a set of ford racing wires and they came with two types of coil wire. The shorter wire is a socket type fit into the coil, and the longer wire has a adapter fit onto your tfi type coil. The shorter wire doesn't like to stay on the coil real well, and to use the longer wire I have to put some cheap adapter that I got from msd on the coil. It is a plastic tower with a bolt in it with some fine wire wraped around the bolt head. But I think the short wire is the way to go. I guess if the coil takes a crap I'll just have to get another one and move it farther away from heat and vibration.
