Question Checking interest.

A while ago there was a post in direct fire ignition. One member posted a pic of a 3 coil aluminum bracket bolted to his fenderwell for the coils. Many expressed interest in the bracket, but I have seen no further posts. Just checking to see if anyone is still interested. I am going to make a few for myself. I will take pics and post if anyone is interested. Should have the first ones done soon.

Build it and they will come. I would be interested. Take a look (if your not busy) at a couple of engine bays different year cars, to see the placement of such a bracket. I would like to to a GSL-SE install as well as a base model. I understand one must walk before running too so maybe something to consider.

Definitely interested. Tried to get that other guy to follow up on his post about it, but never heard from him again.....

That bracket was NICE! And I'm pretty sure there'd be a relatively simple way to mount the bracket he made horizontally for use with high-quality coils...

If you make one for yourself, post a pic, and I'm sure there'll be plenty of interest. I for one, would jump at it in the spring.

Probably about 50-60 bucks. Gotta pay the shop for machine time and materials. I'll get some pics soon.

For a direct fire set up. Two coils connect directly to the two leading spark plugs instead of going through the dizzy while the last coil still goes through the dizzy and then on to the trailing plugs from there.

Go for it dude. I received a fair amount of interest in the one I posted. I have way to many things on my plate to build parts for retail.
