MSD coil mounting bolts

So, since the stock bolts do not fit the MSD coil is it easier to drill out the holes on the coil so that the stock bolts work or does someone know where i can purchase a set of bolts that will work ? you would think MSD would ship bolts with the coil but noooooo.

Have not heard of this before....

Did you swap out the rubber grommets for each bolt that are in the OEM ignition coil pack ?

And be sure not to over tighten the 4 mounting bolts, just snug them up as the threaded brass sleeves embedded into the valve cover will come out

If they don't fit, ( bolts are too small ) I'm wondering if you were shipped the incorrect pack for your application.......
