Plenum Mounted Coil

[MethylatedSpirit]

For those who struggle to find King leads in the correct size, I've mounted the coil on the plenum with a modified rover mini coil bracket



It's a million times easier to source ignition leads.

Blimey. I can cook eggs on my plenum after 10 minutes of running so hope the heat soak doesn't become an issue?

Hi mate

I think they were put on the inner wing to avoid the heat effecting the coil...I should imagine under bonnet temperatures are significantly higher in a Wedge engine bay than a Land Rover...

Some heat reflecting material may help....I made a little jacket for mine...

It was on the same position on my Range Rover. Just seemed a natural place to put it.

I'm going to see how it goes. I always have a spare in the boot anyway. They're pretty much a service item. + it's 30 seconds to put it back on the wing.

Mind you my friend has his on the plenum of his 5.0ltr..Should be okay...

The Elephant has a plenum mounted coil, as did all Holden 5.0 V8 engines of the era.

It gets incredibly hot under there but I've never read of any problems associated with the proximity...

My chimaera coil is mounted on the plenum
