Here is the old version of the kit. You can see one red wire on the passenger side that loooks out of place because it is. It was a temp fix for a broken wire (not made by me). But you can see where they mount. The new kit incorporates bigger angle aluminum and larger threaded rod as well. I use acorn nut on the end caps. The new ones are also powder coated. The wires on the new kit route differently as well. The bigger aluminum allows for the coil to be faced in either direction. The wires are long enough to support that option as well. I've also decided to use the 45* LS1 coil boot exclusively unless someone has an issue with wires falling off their coils. The plug boot is always the same multi-directional double crimp.

Looking good, you will need to get some current picts though since you'll get a lot of requests for them. Now, who all has this lil' set up on their car right now....

Is there a reason why the driver side is angled? and not flush like the passenger side... Just wondering is all..

mounting error
The smaller angle aluminum also effected it.

Its tight under there. It not a 5 minute job, you need to have some skills to drill it. You might need to remove a valve cover, maybe not depending on your drill. I used a cordless porter cable full size to do it. I used self taping screw to make the pilot hole then the 1/4 " drill bit. My car is in my driveway but there isnt an engine in...lol so mounting it on my car isnt a real good example of it right now.

I guess I'm still on Blanco's ignore list. Could someone please ask him the question I asked about the long brackets. In the pictures I can't see them so if they aren't visible at all it wouldn't matter so please include that in the question. Thanks to anyone that would do that.

Blanco....

Is it possible to bend them with two 90 degree bends to make it match the coil mount brackets just to make them consistant?
















The Manalishi, I hope I helped you out some... lol

Then long brackets are
Instructions will come with the kit. The *90 will be self explanatory.
