Can you be more specific with exactly where the hold up is? The coil pack brackets should just slide in fairly easily, unless there's something funky going on with your emissions equipment? Considering you got the covers chromed... are you having trouble threading the bolts?

98's are perimiter bolt valve covers and the coil packs bolt directly to the valve cover not to a bracket first. But I do agree that there shouldn't be any hang-up.

Thanks guys. He couldn't figure it out, so he called me up and I bumped his thread for him. He figured it out like 15 minutes later.

And yeah, '98 is the only year with perimeter style bolts.
