Default Coil location

So I've got this 93 LX with an F4 motor in it. I'm pretty sure they've put this motor in and that it's not factory. They've had some issues with it, and I picked it up pretty cheap. What I need is someone to tell (and or show with a good photo) where the coil is supposed to be mounted. It was just lying beside the distributor on the top of the motor. I think the bracket hooked to it is broken and I can't for the life of me figure out where it's supposed to be. Thanks in advance for the help!!

I don't have a pic, but it should be on a bracket behind the distributor and on the left side of the EGR valve.

This might help a little. The coil bracket is #2,but it doesn't really show where the bracket is mounted. Seems to me it's on the back of the head, just below the valve cover split line??

Friggin sweet... thanks for the help fellas! Now, just one more new to honda question. You'll also be setteling a bet. Which plug is number 1? Is it the drivers side or the passenger's side? This is almost like learing to work on cars all over again!

I want to say drivers side... I think the firing order is 4-2-3-1, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I had the answer right in front of me the whole time yesterday. I found that yesterday, and didn't realize it was the cylinder order on the right side of the picture. Now I do really feel like a noob.
