If you mount them that way, then you will have to take all of them off for a spark plug change. Just keep trying to fit them, it will work. I felt stupid when I couldn't make it work either. I ended up mounting them backwards and my car backfired like crazy. I flipped them around and they mounted easily. Just keep trying, you'll get it right. Are we gonna get to hear an MS3 sound clip pretty soon???

**** I wish!

Found out that I got sent truck coil brackets...off of a Silverado I believe. Anyway everything looks good now that I bolted them in. Dont see why its not going to work...just a little crouded is all. I am going to give Jason at TSP a call Monday or whenever they are there so they can send me the right ones this time. I may just keep them like this though, only takes me 10 minutes to unbolt them.

I am going to see if she fires this time after the battery is charged up lol.

Well just keep trying anyways LOL.....That sucks. Oh well, at least it'll work for now. When I 1st tried to start my car up, I had the coilpack brackets on backwards on one side, and not hooked up on the other. I also had one spark plug wire that was arcing off my header. No wonder it wouldn't fire right up. It didn't help that I was exhausted, and it was 4AM. Congratulations! Can't wait to hear how you like your new setup. That should make for a nice x-mas.

The corresponding cylinder# should be printed on each of them. #2 #4 #6 #8, etc.

It depends on which way you look at the yellow tape. Both sides have 1 3 5 7, and #2 #4 #6 #8. It's hard for me to explain this while typing. For instance my passengers side says 2 4 6 8 which corresponds to the cylinders for that side, but also says #1 #3 #5 #7 on the other side of the tape. I guess they have to be in order, but can be reversed and used for the opposite side of the motor. If this doesn't help or isn't clear, pm me and I'll try and do better.
