1966 December built date 67 GT500 coil bracket location & finish ?

[Kyle]

Hi all,

I have a 67 Shelby GT500 scheduled for build 12/16/66 and Released from San Jose on 12/28/66. Engine Assembly date is 6L10.

The coil bracket should be on the cylinder head or on the intake please? Also the bracket should be painted black if it is located on the cylinder head and Phosphate coating if it is located on the intake please?

It is an Automatic no A/C no Thermactor.

I was hoping someone might be able to help Kyle with his question on the coil mount location on a 12/16 SJ built GT500 automatic.
His car might have had it mounted on the head at SJ, but I recall that it was suggested to move on later cars to the intake.
There was no specific date or month noted as I'm sure that has more to do with build dates not VIN numbera
(We know they were not built in SAI VIN order at SJ or at SAI)

I'm guessing the bracket should be phosphate coated, but not certain on that either.

Coil would most likely be mounted to the intake and the bracket zinc phosphate finished.
