Ignition Coil Bracket Ground?

I have a '94 with a 351w. I had to remove the long coil bracket when I installed headers as I could not get a stud to fit without rubbing. Does the coil bracket act as a ground or only for support?

No the Ignition coil is not electrically grounded.

I cut down my bracket since I had relocated the AIR solenoids & kept the EGR on the bracket.

I did put a stud in & reused the original strut to hold the dip stick.

Thanks guys.

Scndsin,

I like that idea. Looks like the coil and bracket is mounted sideways using the the TAB/TAD mounting studs. And the EGR solenoid is moved back and up using it's original bracket? Yes, I was also able to fit a stud for the oil dipstick and the intake support bracket on the other side, just not enough room by the #7 header tube for coil bracket. Your engine bay looks fantastic btw. How are the DEI header wraps holding up?

Somehow I managed to NOT photo this one particular project.

I know I cut down the TAB/TAD bracket & relocated it on the coil bracket.

I like the wrap. The DEI titanium does not require a treatment like others & it makes a big difference working on the engine at operating temp.

However it will make you itch like mad if you get it on your arms.
