Reply to "Any suggestions on where to mount the (gigantic) MSD 8253 coil?"

Sure, give it a try, especially if you can’t return it.

You may find that if you are running a ballast resistor, the coil doesn’t fully charge at high RPM. This can result in a high RPM misfire.

This happened to me with a Ford TFI (solid body) coil.

Check the instructions. If it shows no ballast resistor in the circuit, you can probably keep yours in, until you know you have a problem…. That’s the safe way to do it.
