I'm in the middle of an engine swap and am so close to getting my car on the road I can barely stand it! I'm putting a 1.8 motor from a 75 into my 72 and found that the size of the coil that normally mounts to the engine tin is different from the one that has the bracket that mounts on the blower housing. Does anyone know the correct part number or coil to use for that mounting bracket?
Thanks, Jsaum |

With the extra holes on that, I'm betting that it's a "custom" bracket made out of plumber's strapping.
