Because every time I seem to start working on this car it is the OEM **** that takes a dump on me..and I don't trust 25 year old parts,so I bought NEW!.
I went from a N/A and built it into a TII.I slapped on a BNR stage 3 and PS1000. Now I am putting on a T04 with ID's,So I want reassurance that parts are not gonna break.
I figure that the Air is always there,I have taken care of fuel with new injectors,so the Spark is all that remains..And I just Got that,so,anyone got PICS???
Thanks again.Peace.STYX!~

I know Bruce (rxtasy57) has these same coils and here is a photo of his coil mounts. Look at post 6993.

I mounted mine just like Bruce did. You can see my pic just a couple of lines below his in that thread. All it takes is disassembling the stock coils and drilling a couple of extra holes. Parts include long bolts, nuts, and something you can use as spacers. I used cut down plastic barb fittings from Lowes. Incidentally, that's where I got the hardware as well.

Let me know if you need any more help!

Thanks immensely Guys for the pictures.
I know that I have seen a pic of a car that the AEM Coils were mounted on the Frame rails.
Honestly I wouldn't mind that setup as I am trying to clear up the clutter in the Engine bay.A short run of HI-Tension wires too would be great too.

This is on an FD. This car has AC and PS and that makes packaging extremely tight. The bracket holding the coils has a wing that runs down to the frame rail that is riveted to the rail.

Since Chris posted pics of an FD mounting I figured I would post mine.








I made the wires as well.

Chris,My car is an Fc with Manual steering so I think I have room to squeeze in 4 coils.
That pic is an idea,so thanks..
By the way,do the coils need to be Rubber mounted to the bracket?..I know they need a ground,that is obvious,but I am just wondering about if they should be solid mounted or rubber mounted.
OH..and thanks to All that posted pics..( I feel the Love in this section!..haha!)

Rubber would be best. The coils in my pic are held by threaded rod and if you look between the coils, fuel hose is used to give them some isolation from each other. The bracket itself is hard mounted.

The coils do not need an external path to ground. The body itself is plastic, so it's internally isolated. This is why the ground wires in the connector are used and important.

I noticed that,I don't know how,but I did.
Rain has hampered my installation,so This weekend it should be OK to get at this.
I'll hit the steel yard and get something going.
I'll post pics of what I come up with.
Thanks Guys!
Cheers Dave.

Consists of Body steel,threaded rod,nuts,Fuel line to make it look slick,heh,,and of course 4 AEM-IGNA coils.
