Coil mounting with Holley carb and single plane

Any pics or suggestions on where some of you are mounting your coil?  I have a 383 with a Street Dominator and a Holley 3310.  I'd like to keep the coil on the manifold and as stock looking as possible.

 With my old Edelbrock DB4 and 750 Holley, had to cut the end's out on the coil monting brackets so they where slots. Move as far from the Carb as I could, then slide the coil in the bracket as far as I could to clear the front bowl of the carb.

Would not work with the 750 and stock 440 intake I have on the POS 440.

I normaly run the coils of the innner fender, Charger was ths last hold out on stock mounting. Running them on the infender will make them last longer, keep's them cooler.

I bought a coil relocate bracket off a guy thats in the mopar mags, works well with any Holley I run an 850..

I agree with you Ken but the single plane and the Holley are a big "secret" so I have to make the attempt to have it look stock.  Those pics help.  Maybe I can cobble my own relocate bracket together.

 On the Ruuner with a Toker intake (1974) never tried to mount the coil on the intake. Went with a Mallory black box coil on the infender. Man that was a great coil, died 2003. Sure can not bitch about a coil that lasted 19 years. Ran the stock 383, 426 Maxie to 7200 Rpms and then currnet 383 that is in the Runner.

I do it like 8 w pix , turn the coil sideways & use 1 bolt

Actually the adapter plate bolts down on the intake in the two original holes for the coil.
Then it is off set 1 1/2in forward and turned strait, the plate has two studs welded in
strait up, and that is where the original coil bracket bolts on and with lots of clearance.

Right now, it's on there with the one bolt method but I'm going to fab up a stand off bracket of some kind.  Thanks guys.

You can get a reproduction 6 pack coil bracket for about $30.

Or you can Contact Fabulous Fabrications @ 303 666-9882 and get one of his coil relocating brackets like I (and 8WHeeler) did.

The standard off-the-shelf chrome holley dual feed fuel line will probably interfere with your distributor. I fabbed my own fuel lines for a stock appearance. I didn't like the routing of the kit from Fabulous Fabrications.

Don't ask how many feet of 3/8" steel fuel line I burned through before I got it to fit the way I liked.

I also can hide this all under a dual snorkel air cleaner when I want to be real sneaky, but that's a trick for another thread.

Yep same coil bracket, I just painted mine engine color so its not very notiable.
And I used the 3/8 lines from Fabulous Fabrications and they fit and look pretty
stock, I like the way they go over the valve cover like stock.
My coil is an MSD Blaster2 it was red took the sticker off and painted it black.
My intake is the dual plane M1 stock looking intake.
