Where does the factory mount the EST coil on a V8 ? I'm swaping out the mallory ignition for the EST on a 1980 mercruiser 260. I have a stamped throttle bracket ( 805359T) and it looks like it will bolt up there.
anywhere it fits and the coil wire still makes it to the cap.
as the EST uses a dry coil, orientation is irrelevent.
myself I would try to find an easy accesible spot out of the way of routine service. sometimes hands,knees or tools can break of the coil tower.
dont ask
