Coilpack mounting position - Sapphire
Does anyone have pictures of where they've mounted a coilpack on a sapphire cosworth? I've just got my wasted spark going and i'm not too sure where to put mine!
Would like somewhere neat and preferably hidden

yes fella i had mine there before i cable tied it to the breather!
wil warn you though if you mount it there you struggle for room its really tight space as the heater motors in the way, and fook changing a leed if 1 goes down
ive got some pics of how mine was mounted if your interested
