Coil Pack Question
Coil Pack Question I have a 98 SS. From what I've been told and read my coil packs should all be on one bar. I'm in the process of doing my header swap and it looks like the coils are all attached seperatly? Anyone have ANY idea as to whats going on? <img src="images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0">
Oh, and one more thing... The passenger side is horrible! <img src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" border="0" alt="[barf]" /> Can I go ahead and just cut my stock y-pipe off? I don't feel like messing with a bunch of rusted bolts and such. On the front O2 sensors, how do you get the blue thing out of the connector? Also, do I need O2 extensions with these grot headers? TIA

Re: Coil Pack Question 97 Vettes & 98 Vettes & Fbodys have each coil mounted seperately to the valve covers.
97s 98s also unfortunately have perimiter valve cover bolts too. 99 + have 4 center bolts and coils mounted in 4 unit packs per side. 99+ are very easy to R&R the coil packs & valve covers vs 97 & 98s. I think that the dealership techs must have pitched a bitch about them so they changed the design.
