    21studflatty

    Hello friends! I’m getting very close to firing up my 21 Stud pump in head flatty with Eddie Meyer (Orosco) highrise intake and heads. I’m running a crab distributor with 46-48 plug wire conduits. I learned the hard way you can’t run a 46-48 coil and bracket due to the water pump on the left head. I considered modifying the bracket to index it back a bit but then it interfered with the wire exits on the conduit. The conduits don’t leave much room to tuck a standard coil longways along the head.
    So, my question is has anyone had a similar issue, and where did you put your coil? I’d rather not mount it on the firewall.
    Any recommendations or references to similar builds for ideas would be greatly appreciated.
