    Re: CAUTION super high tech question

    tks all     Nope mine is not marked,  I use this type of coil on my 66 w/ a Summit electronic distributor. I just had this distributor fail,  after 9 months.   Warranty is sending me a new one.   Now  dammm I guess ? I had better carry / have a back up plan.

    If it the one you got from me in 2016, Don, it the way Texas' pix show.  As you look at it the positive is on the left.

    yep but no,,  I like it so much I replaced it with a similar new one a couple of years later.   I'm having wiring issues putting in new Dakota gauges.   The wiring in my car is driving me crazy.  I think the electronic module inside distributor failed.  New one gets here Fri.   Changing coil because it's the only thing I haven't yet replaced.

    Sorry Don, thought you were looking for wire colors for the 95 setup.

    Here’s a coil that is marked, just like Tex mentioned.

    Re: CAUTION super high tech question

    The bracket in picture is from an F series truck 88-97 5.0/5.8
    Could easily find in other models and various shape designs too.

    The one I made for the 65 is from heavy gage sheet metal.
    It is bent into an “L” shape.
    I made a square hole and mounted ignition coil to the bracket. (Drill and jig saw)
    I used 4 bolts and keps nuts to attach coil…I even tapped the holes.
    Then the bracket has 2 mounting holes that attaches to my power steering pump bracket.

    I have my coil laying down and terminals closer to firewall.
