slowly bend the fuel line up out of the way, just be gentle.

those are truck coils so you would need to run truck spark plug wires. While you're swapping them out might as well just get some nice msd wires.

truck coils sit up higher off the valve cover for more clearance around the coils themselves, need truck wires or LS2 wires

I used the car wires and truck packs. Just elongate the mounting holes and bend the coils up at the top to angle the wire end down. Or just put some washers onder the top side of the coils. You cant tell when they are done.
