Coil bracket

I've searched, but not coming up with anything, so I'm asking for suggestions. I have an intake manifold with no coil mounting bosses. I'm looking for a bracket to hold the coil, vertical preferably. I saw a photo of one that appears to mount to the intake manifold bolt(s), but cannot seem to find one. any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. BTW, this would be for the standard type round coil.

Re: Coil bracket

Pontiac has coil mounts from 65-67 GTO's for example that bolt to the rear of the passenger side cylinder head. Summit also has a similar bracket

Year of vehicle would be nice to have the right info for it. A picture would also be nice of the intake.I have seen them bolted to the fire wall backside of intake side of of intake and even over on the inner fenders as well.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: Coil bracket

Don't have my '57 2dr sedan here, it's headed to paint hopefully next Monday. I have an original GM '57 dual four bbl intake also with out the provision for the coil bracket as you do. I was able to find a metal coil bracket that mounted to an existing bolt hole on the firewall just to the right of the distributor. I also mounted it vertically but should also work horizontally if wanted that way. Found it on eBay for under $10 shipped. Just a thought, may work for you also.
