Coil pack location

[Mr Haribo]

Im looking at the location of coil packs at the back of the engine
Has anyone any pics ?

[Simon says]

I know at least someone on here runs the coils packs behind the plenum, this style if memory serves certainly nicer than on the side or front of the engine, only thing that put me off this style of coil packs was there reliability is sometimes questionable

Don`t know what type i have but i do like the clip on style.. what ever they`re called..

Mine are in a weird position and would like to move them.





The other problem is the leads are very long ..

Is there a bracket available

[Simon says]

There is a bracket available for those coil packs Daz but you would have to alter the loom to suite, to be honest I don't like where your coils have been mounted either those are Ford/Motorcraft 1st generation Ka/Escort/Mondeo & Various Yank motors from that era 80s/90s and will outlast you mate here is one option of coils bracket http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Megasquirt-Megajolt-Rove...

[SILICONEKID340HP]

They have been there three years now with no problems bu i would like to change the leads .Don`t want long ones crossing over ..

That bracket looks a bit over engineered ..

How would i go about making the leads up..

Any links? ,is there a special tool needed..

Mine are behind the plenum, very tidy job This is the only picture I have with me and won't be seeing the car for another couple of weeks at least.

Appreciate the photo probably won't be much help to the OP but any excuse to post a piccie

I know its not a TVR, but I've always found the way this guy mounted the coil packs to be rather sweet!

I went this route with my megasquirt and have never had a problem, it keeps everything tidy
