Default Help mounting a Blaster coil

I think I've found a home inside the passenger compartment for the MSD 6AL, but I'm having a hard time finding a location for the coil.

I've got a stock Ford PS pump that takes up most of the room on the driver's side head. In fact, the only logical place (although it's kind of far from the distributor) is the battery tray now that the HyFire that was there has found employment as a paperweight.

When I had the 302 with an RPM intake, the intake had bosses that allowed the coil to be bolted beside the carb. The torkerII I've got with the 351 doesn't have any spare mounting points except the throttle cable mount. I've thought about sharing that, but it's a little close to where my fuel line runs.

The other option is along the fender side of the engine bay (either side, but probably beside and down from the mount point for the hood prop rod. Should the fender be able to hold a coil from the usual two-hole coil mount?

Thanks,

JLW
