LT1 set from autozone was $25. worked just fine into the 8 second range at 25+lbs. I bought 2 so I'd have spares.

Good options. I saw the summit wires, not bad but didn't want Blue.

Never thought about autozone.

My coils are mounted underneath the windshield near the firewall, right near the plastic piece behind the hood if that makes sense. The wires are long MSD wires.

I've searched, but cant find 90* terminals for the coil end of the plug wires. Does anyone know where I can get some?

WS602 - where did you get the male end coils and are they a direct plug in for the ls or lq4 coil harness's
if not a direct plug in - how did you wire, and do you have a diagram

in the alternative - can anyone answer - are all LS coils the internal male like the lq4 coils or are there other variations
if there are others - can people post pics of same
seems the easiest way out of the limited sparkplug wire dilemma is to substitute coils that plug wires are readily available for like the ones shown by WS602
thanks

MSD sell crimps for the LS coils, and no doubt other places do too.

And why would you change to different coils when LS coils are extremely powerful...and free on every engine ?
