That varies with the engine, car, and year.------------------

For example, a 66 car with 6 cylinder has the coil mounted down low at mid engine, whereas a 289 for the same year has it mounted in front of the passenger side cylinder head.

It should run down the inside of the driver's side valve cover until it joins a plugin at the firewall.------------------

Obviously not a stock routing 
But sounds like a nice way to clean up the wiring.
