273 stock coil location hitting vacuum advance
I have a Hi-Po 273 in a 65 Dart GT. The previous owner put in an orange EI brain box and electronic distributor. When I got the car the coil was mounted funny because it was interfering with the distributor vacuum advance. When I went to time it, it was at 8 degrees but I couldn’t advance more because the VA is hitting the coil. Right now I’ve got the timing set at 10 degrees and it looks like this. (See pic). No way the coil is going to fit in that location. I would prefer to not relocate the coil to some other location. What is going on?
