Engine bay pics

Hey all! I'm looking for pics of engine bays. I'm trying to find the best layout for my MSD box, coil, etc. Would like to get some idea's. I'm thinking I'm going to mount the MSD on the pass. side fender well, but I don't have much room for a coil there. Coil also won't fit where a stock coil would go, on the intake manifold.

Please post em if you got em.

Thanks

Re: Engine bay pics

Why won't your coil fit on the intake?

Not an MSD BOX but here is mine. My buddy has a 63 and he mounted his on the passenger side fender well and it worked out great for him.

Nope I'm from Pa...Born and raised... I have the white 64 shop truck and a red 68 show truck... Check the pics in my profile...

To stick with the thread I always mount my msd box inside the cab or in the car that I put them in... I know they are weather proof but I still like to keep them covered and out of sight... Much cleaner IMO..
