Does anyone have ideas for a good mounting location or pics of yours?? Any ideas for a homemade mount? Thanks for your help!

It needs to be close enough for the coil wire to reach eh? Jasper2014

I just cleaned it up, and goning to mount it where the original coil was. Looks pretty decent. I'l post pics as soon as i can onto my photobucket link below for future referance. 1957 Chevy 3200 In the Stovebolt Gallery Under the hood video of Fenton Dual Carbs Sound clip with Flow Master Dual Exhaust
