Re: Tommys66 Build
Sorry for the wrong part # on the wires. I didn't consider the difference between the coils setups.

Re: Tommys66 Build
Nice work Tommy. I made a cover for the bottom of my radiator for more support so the coils don't crush.

Re: Tommys66 Build
this is the only pic I have. it is a lokar dipstick. It just presses into a rubber grommet at the block, and I haven't decided where to bolt the bracket to.

Re: Tommys66 Build
I think it is too short for this application, but it was too expensive to not use! Prolly have to make a bracket for it. had to make brackets for everything else so far, so why not this too.
