Yes.

Here is a photo of the mock up. Coil packs are from a Mazda/Ford V6 3 litre engine. Aluminium spacers are bolted to the cam cover so the coil pack and be secured. Must say that the engine is still to be fitted to the car, so only a "theory" and not a proven concept.

Seeing you are in Australia I may not have found the correct plug but were these the ones you were using? https://ebay.us/m/PJk5DT
These are the ones that I am using.

The EFI looks to be coming on nicely Dave, but what on earth is that strut brace doing on a Dolomite? Absolutely un-necessary with unequal wishbones.
