YES !! SWEET !! Just what i'm going to put on mine in the spring next yr or sooner. I will probably mount the coils below somewhere, but your setup looks really good. Let us know how it performes when you can. I was going to look into relocating the alternator and pwr steering pump to the bottom passenger side also but I haven't given it a serious look yet.

If you're going to delete the A/C you might be able to do it. I haven't seen any aftermarket brackets for doing that though. I know there's some to mount the alt. on the top drivers side.

Yeah, on the Vette. Mine has the alternator and A/C on the drivers side.

Thanks, I have been working on it for a few months. The car is at CKPerformance right now getting a 4L80E put in. I registered the car yesterday and got new plates. Can't wait to take it for a drive and see what the new ignition and 72 pound injectors via versafueler can do.

Looks Nice ! Keep us up to date on that ignition system, you've become the pacesetter for now on it and alot of us are intrested in that upgrade. Thanks !!
Also, sorry for getting off topic about relocating the Alternator and pwr steering pump, I was going to try to make the mount for it and cover the alternator from water splash dammage, if possible.
OOPS !! I meant the bottom Drivers side !!

Wayne, what plug wires are you using and were they a assembled set? I'm looking for plug wires for this and having a hard time finding a set for coils that aren't assembled.

I bought the taylor kit 73651 and separate opti boots taylor 46052, I had to make them myself what a PIA. I finally figured out to strip a little bit (2") of the blue silicone off first then slide the smaller diameter inside thru the opti boots so you have something to pull on. I also used dawn soap and water as a lubricant to push the boot up the wire. Then I cut the wire to length and pulled the boot back down.

I found a thread on a corvette forum were the guy said he used the Taylor 73051 (black set) set with the Taylor 46052 LT1 ends to make the wires for his. Just wanted to make sure I was getting the right stuff before I ordered them. I didn't know the coils took the same ends as the opti did, spent a good deal of last night trying to figure that out until I found that thread. Thanks for the info., going to order these today if I get around to it.
