Thumbs up Open element air cleaner install

OK, so I went to the world of wheels on saturday which was awesome and they had all these little booth kinda things where they were sellin stuff and what not. But to get to the point I found a 14" open element air cleaner 3" tall and all chrome for $20, so I got it and the same night even though it was dark I installed it on my TBI. I had to drill a couple of holes in it for some sensors but it only took a couple minutes and it looks sweet! I thought it was just for looks and a tiny performance gain but I can tell the difference in sound and power! The only thing is it sits leaning forward a little bit b/c the ignition coil is in the way. its fine this way but i was just wondering if I could relocate my coil somewhere else with no truble. Could I?

Couldn't I just move the coil somewhere else. I really can't spend much money on it right now, trying to get the new rear end installed
