"Home-Brewed" Coil Near Plug Conversion Mock Up....

Ottmundr said
Just curious, why do you have the coilpacks there, rather on the valve covers so you would have shorter wires and no chance of crossing any wires?
Did you mount them at the rear for aesthetic reasons, or for easier access to remove the valve covers, or something else I haven't thought of?
I know I'm probably going to want to show off my M/T valve covers, but I also want to keep the plug wires as short as possible.
Now you got me thinking... I wonder if anyone makes a coilpack that will fit right on the plug with my Promaxx heads and Doug's headers...
I'm going to have to mock it up when I get my engine in the car.

I absolutely hate the way coil packs look on valve covers... But, the Main reason is that with the 2" TTI headers on a RB block, there is only about a 1/4" clearance between the number 2 tube and the inner fender panel... No room for the plug wire to go straight from the coil pack to the sparl plug...

Also I like to "hide" as much as I can for the aesthetics and a clean engine bay.

Here is a photo of the right side header clearance....
