Need Help relocating a coil! Does anyone know of a relocation bracket for the #8 coil only. On my 96 impala ss the #8 coil interferes with the wiper motor, and $100 bucks for a small bracket to move it up towards the fuel rail seems a bit steep. Does anyone make these from home, or does anyone have a better price on something that could work in its place?

I will attempt if there is no other option, but my fabrication skills are in its infancy. This is actually my first build, so I'm learning every day. Could I commission you to make one? Sometimes I wish I majored in mechanical engineering vs Chemical Engineering lol.

Most of the relocation brackets I'v seen are for all of the coils. You might consider doing that. Can't move it too far, or the wiring harness and standard plug wire won't fit.
But, fabbing simple parts and brackets like this is how you can started. Break out the hacksaw and drill, and go to it. I'v been doing it for years with basic hand tools. Some of it looks pretty good, and some of it... well, not so good. But it always works. Eventually. Do be afraid to toss it out and start over until you get it where you want it.
Nearly all of my Fab efforts start with CAD - Cardboard Aided Design.

I wanted just the one to avoid getting new wiresite if possible. But everything I see is usually for 4, and require getting longer wires. I found one that moved just the #8, but at $100 bucks, it seemed like an extreme Rip. I understand R&D, but that seems like a bit much.
