Coil mounting bracket

Can anyone who has the Flamethrower 2 coil let me know what mounting bracket they used to mount the coil in the stock location on the manifold.
The diameter on the Flamethrower is to much that I can't get the bolt hole to line up for the manifold, using the stock bracket. Is my only option to mount hte coil on the firewall?

The screw I have is not even long enough. I could put a longer screw in to tighten the bracket, but the problem is the slot to put the bolt through to the manifold will not line up.

Put the longer screw in. Pull it together until the holes line up. There is some slop there

I think I found a mounting bracket that will work for the Flamethrower II coil which mounts horizontally. Mr. Gasket p/n 6055
I won't have it for a week, but will update once I get it.

So don’t buy a repop tach?
i was going to rather than throwing a sun super tach in there, which by the way are not cheap either.

Johnny, you need to turn infinite scroll off. If it is on and you scroll down to the bottom of the thread it will take you to the next “Related Topics” thread. If it’s off you would need to manual click on the next thread to be able to see it and comment on it.
