Ramjet 350 clearance question

Hell all!
Well I've got the rolling chassis wrapped up, shaved and painted the firewall on the cab. Now it's time to put the cab back on the chassis...

Does anyone here know if I have room to mount the ignition coil to the back of the driver's side head on the ramjet 350 in a 67-72?
The coil fits beautifully on the engine, but will it clear the firewall when I put the cab back on?

Re: Ramjet 350 clearance question

The only problem I see is if you need to remove it for any reason it will be a b!tch. They mounted mine on the firewall above the motor to the right .
