LS1 to LS3 coils swap Help needed. Forum,
I have an LS1 engine that is modified and want to put Holley's tall valve covers on the motor to dress it up. Well in not reading the fine print the Holley tall valve covers require LS3 coils which have a 72mm bolt spacing. The LS3 coils have a different pig tail connector than my LS1 coils. What can I do to connect LS3 coils to my LS1 engine harness? Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks

When I bought some from Nook & Tranny about 3 years ago they were about $40 each side.
Holy ****...looks like almost double that now !! LOL

If you're bothered, you could just buy 4 coil connectors and just re-terminate your existing loom, would be cheaper.
Pretty sure that's it

I think the pn for the LS3 coils are 12611424. I am not sure if that connector will work. But thats a good idea of just swapping out the connector.

I wonder if you could fasten the LS1 coils to the holley covers using just one bolt or maybe making a little adapter plate to pick up the second bolt? Or maybe even use some epoxy to hold the other side? sure a lot cheaper that a new harness and new coils
