Ever thought of remote mounting the coil like on the fender well? A couple of friends of mine that race Formula Fords have their coils mounted off the block due to expierencing coil failure at speed do to vibration and heat. Now they are mounted close to the engine intake scoop to take advantage of fresh air over the coil.

Mount the coil vertically or at least with the positive terminal at the uppermost point.

Heat and vibration will kill a coil faster than anything
