Cross Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 So I have a question, why mount the coil there would it not get hotter than if it was off the motor like on the firewall? Just curious, looks very nice as always Doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bromley's Corvettes Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I don't usually mount a coil on the intake but the customer already had that round style coil and the intake has bolt holes to mount it. It does not seam to make any difference on performance or how long the coil lasts. The intake never gets over 180 so not a problem. If I was doing a new IGN install I would mount a small square style coil in the wiper cowl. Thanks customer is very happy like a kid at X-mas lol.

Guest Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Doug is right about being,"happier than a kid at Christmas". Hell, I am happier than dog penned with a pack of bitches in heat. This car rocks. It is everything Doug and I discussed and more. Night and day difference and it is now the Corvette it should have been before the EPA neutered it back in 1978. Doug has gone above and beyond the call of duty on every level. Great communication, real attention to detail, solid suggestions without ever any up sell and I feel very fortunate to have a guy with this level of knowledge and experience working on my C3. This forum has helped me with lots of shared experience and getting introduced to Doug Bromley has been without a doubt the best thing for myself and my C3. I am now really looking forward to meeting some of you in the near future with a car I am proud and pleased to drive. THANK-YOU Doug for a job well done! Much Respect, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good....I'm signed up for Prescott Vette show, have a room booked...Looking forward to way fun weekend...Hope my "issues" are resolved by then ! You can bring it in on monday morning. I talked to Huges in phx if Bow Tie does not want to fix the leak I will just have it done hear in town. I wont be buying anymore trannys from Bow Tie they don't seem to really care that one of there new trannys leaked from day one and I have to keep R&R there unit. They sent me a T-shirt for all my time and trouble lol. A white t-shirt I cant even were because I am always working on cars lol. The freight back and fourth to CA will be a lot more the having it fixed in town. When I pull it out again I will call them and see what they want to do. Hang in there it will get fixed with or with Bow Ties help. At least the tranny shifts great and no other problems just need to stop it from leaking.

65sting Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Doug did similar work on my '65. You will be really happy. My engine is now a year old and running perfect. A recent observation by the guys at classic who did my paint was, this was the best running carbureted car they have seen. I ended up having Doug put in a TKO 500 with a 3:55 rear. Couldn't be happier. (Especially since I now have it under a fresh Stinger!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
