Topic: 1966 coil location

Pete,
The coil shares the dip stick retainer bolt (378604-S8, 3/8-16X3/4 hex, gr 5) when mounted to the head. It's "tight".

I think it's actually a mid seventies Ford truck alternator spacer (see pic).
Does look a bit lit a B2 spacer -- ha!

With this part in the way you won't be able to fit the coil.
You need to get the correct alternator setup -- pull the truck part and find the correct spacer -- and then your coil should fit.

Too much chrome has blinded your eyes.

Very well could be, LOL. These cars come into the shop and I have to work with what i'm given.

Looking at the picture - not rally a question for this site since there is allot of non-original stuff going on so really no reason IMHO to put it back where it originally was.

Looks like the answer to the original question was put is anywhere it will fit and the coil wires will reach

Nope. And used on Mavericks and Granada. Part number 10A336.

Ah, enlightenment. And the above is correct. But is that adapter for a 289/302 or a 351W?

(Still, way too much chrome.)

 Ah yes, way too much chrome!  Not my cup of tea. As I said, not my car, just one that came into the shop. I agree with Jeff, i'm going to put it back on the intake where it was and move on.
  Thanks again guys for the info and input.

Pete,
You might let your customer know what you found out about that little detail. It's a good sales technique to keep a customer and get positive referrals.
