you can do it the easy way, or the 'hard' way.

thunderracing sells a coil relocation kit, complete with brackets, wires, the whole 9yards.

Making your own is more difficult, but not by much. You simply buy the wires from say thunder, and the taylor coil back boots. Purchasing any typical universal fit wire set for anything wont work, as the distributor and coil boot sizes are different.

MSD sells a basic LT1 universal kit, with the correct coil boots, which are designed for an optispark (same type of connection) but you'll have to be really careful on which setup you purchase. some of the MSD setups use 90* coil boots AND 180* boots for the coils.

I'd suggest the typical taylor 8mm wireset, a set of crimpers, and the taylor straight boots.

Its the only way that has been currently done, and for space under the cowl, and with other mounting options, it seems to be the best.

Hope this helps.
