Anyone used the WH 5.0 Explorer PS/AC brackets with stock Explorer 5.0 coil packs???

[WILDHORSES]

This kit it was designed for Explorer front dress conversions meaning motors with a distributor. Has anyone here used it with stock coil packs? The compressor and coil packs don't seem to play nice together. I'm surprised we have not ran into this before. Surly this has been done? My photo is what I would call the traditional way of utilizing the brackets (motor with distributor). Pics would be great. Thanks ahead of time.

Why not just use the stock bracket?

Don't have one, already installed this one, running Sag pump etc.

I have the coil packs modeled. I was planning on them going on the valve covers. If you want the files, let me know.

Thanks for the offer. I think we are good for the moment. I am still interested in seeing if anyone has used this bracket with relocated coil packs.

I’m running that bracket with the explorer coil packs mounted on the firewall behind the upper plenum. I’ll see if I can find a photo.

They can basically go anywhere is my point, just means longer spark plug wires.

I know of a bunch of people running them with the Sag bracket, but I can't think of anyone running them with A/C as well.

Thanks everyone for the help. I figured the coil packs were movable I just needed to confirm that.
