    Does anyone know the correct ignition coil placement on a 1968 gt 500.
    I looked in the pictirue registry and most sit on top of the driverside of the intake. some face forward and some face back. i have seen some mounted on the front of the engine in front of the head. also is the bracket supposed to be finished black like the coil or natural.
    thanks

    It should be mounted on the driver's side on top of the blue painted intake. It is directly on top of your smog bracket.

    :lol:

    The terminals face to the rear (towards the firewall) and they are indexed so they are one above the other, closest to the valve cover. The coil is semigloss black with a silver ink stamp. Never a decal.

    The bracket is phosphated -unpainted.
