Default Coil pack wiring extension???

Does anyone make these? I am sure I could buy the wire and the weatherpack connectors but surely, someone has already done this and has some tips...

I have not seen them. Most people who put the coils under the cowl claim they don't need to do anything with the wires, but pull them out of the stock loom.

Caspers should sell the weatherpack connectors, they are a sponsor.

Check out http://www.currentperformance.com/Ac...iring_acc.html.

I relocated my coils on my vette to the inside fenders. I simply splice in the length of wires that I needed, nicely soldered & shrink wrapped each extended wire, then rewrapped the wire bundle like stock.

that harness looks like a good deal plus the option to add as much length as wanted (for an extra cost) if you want something different then undercowl mounting. but Ive relocated a couple coil sets and you dont have to do any wire mods for that. but you do have to seperate the wires out of the harness back to gain a few extra inches per side. basically juts removing some elec. tape from inside the factory harness and retaping once they are repositioned.

You do not have to lengthen the wires if you are going to locate the coil pacs up under the cowl..just cut the electrical tape lose on the coil pacs wires and remove some little plastic pieces then you will retape them and you will be fine..nothing to it.. you will need to get some longer spark plug wires..I use some taylor LT1 wires and cut them to custom lengths ..
