tried to post a link but it didn't work

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

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?  

1957 Fords and Mercurys with a 312 and Carter 4v carbs had a bracket that mounted the coil longitudinally.

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 had a 3 carb set up on my 54.  The manifold did not have the mounting holes that the stock intake has.  I made up a bracket that mounted on the two studs that held down the intake manifold and mounted the stock bracket to that.  Worked really good.  Went back to 4 BBL , don't remember what happened to the bracket so can't show what I made.

That's funny, I never thought about a one hole bracket.  Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. Thanks!

I made no modifications to the "-B" iron manifold and yes, it appears to be the same hole shown holding your coil. This bracket is a one hole mount and holds the coil securely. Try this link.  .https://www.summitracing.com/parts/fms-m-12044-a2
