Leading Coil, grounded to chassis?

Hey,
A quick question.
Can the leading coil fuction correctly no being bolted the chassis where it is?

Has anyone had bad results of misfire with using 9s spark plugs on the leading?

The coil needs to be grounded to function properly...

Thanks, that's what I thought.

I had to relocate the coil due to the greddy FMIC I installed.

The coil is supported by one stude and i have another wire hooking up another hole to the chassis but I'm still having a little breakup. Should I use more grounds?

Yup. Trails are the same way. No ground. No fire. I'd try a heavy gauge wire and if that does not do it, then it must be another thing. Prepare a good grounding surface for what little your mounted to and make sure the hole your using for the extra ground is prepared good and clean. But you know that.

Why not drill another hole through the fender wall or wherever you're mounting at and just add another bolt?

I guess i'm going to have to drill another hole for the bolts. I guess since I made two big holes for the IC pipe it wouldn't matter now, Thanks guys,

I had to move my leading ignitor assembly. I just added a ground to one of the former coil mount screw posts using a shorter screw, and it runs my 2 Crane Hi-6's perfectly. Based on that, you should be able to ground using one of the coil-ignitor mounting screws.
