Jordan, you can mount the coil anywhere you like.

We have had it pointed out previously on this forum, that even a NOS ford coil may be u/s. They were unreliable because of the insulation.
(search the many postings by Tony Smith (not the real one))
I'm with Perry on this one. There is a different cam (and front cover). I have an adapter that allows the short cam to be used with the other distributor but it obviously won't work the other way around.

Mac's auto has now Ford coils that are cosmetic duplicates of the old but without the 'tar' insulation problem.
