While I don't know the answer, all I can say is that don't look right. I think your missing a bracket or something.

From the VIN, it's definitely '84 FLHT. I've never seen one with the coil mount tabs where those are. All I've ever seen had that bracket welded to the underside of the top rail as marked in the photo.

They are all about the same so far as mounting and dimensions.

I think if you had some 90 degree boots on the coil end, you would be OK. Those boot ends might be replaceable.

Default FLH Coil. HD 84-90 Manual under Cruise Control


This is from the HD manual Section 8 . It shows the coil rotated by 90 degrees from your position. I hope this helps...
