I have a Blue Thunder intake with a 750 Holley on my 57 Bird. Coil is mounted with the original bracket with no issues. Two bolts. the coil is lengthways on the intake. Don't see the problem I am using the stock 1955 TBird coil bracket which mounts the coil perpendicular (photo below). When I installed a dual inlet Holley on my engine with this bracket, the coil hits the carb and fuel lines. Mounting the coil lengthwise would fix this issue. What coil bracket are you using on your '57?

When I first got my car the coil was mounted on the firewall and I didn't like it. I luckily found a bracket to mount it lengthwise in a bucket of extra parts, I don't know where it came from. My other engine has it mounted like Phil's, I wish I could find another bracket to mount it lengthwise.. Anyone checked the TBird suppliers for one? This is a 63-64 Bird type might work

Looking at the pics I posted shows how close the coil is to the valve cover. No issue with this but it might present issues with aluminum valve covers? The link RanchersJim posted for a bracket offered by NPD may be better.

The coil is real close to the aluminum (Tbird) valve covers. You have to loosen up or unbolt the coil to get the cover off FORD DEARBORN (11/29/2020)
