Always thought I wanted a brother, thank you Lord

Having sisters is a different set of circumstances...

 

[PabloCruise]

What are the chances you can post some pictures of this brother???

I bet he has the stache similar to Bob's...

 

[PabloCruise]

I have 3 bros and 4 sisters wouldnt trade for the world

Where do you fall in the order?

 

[PabloCruise]

Feels like it might be similar to underwater basket weaving

New connector kits on their way. All of this will be cut to fit with all new connectors installed.

Oh Mylanta!

7th and NO STACHE like mine. Been there since 9th grade

Tried to make appearances more sleek underhood with a set of coil hiding valve covers.
Unfortunately, they’re not going to work. Not enough clearance between the cover and the hydroboost to slip the cover assembly in place. To use a set of covers like this or similar, the coils would need to be remote mounted somewhere else. Then you’d have long plug wires running everywhere - not sure I see the point of that trade-off.
Even with the stock valve cover and coil position in place, there’s about 3/4” to spare.

Rotate the hydro boost to put the accumulator on the other side, I believe I had to do that to mine..

Oh sweet! I will give that a try - thank you sir!

 

[J Mack]

You are welcome!


I can't find a photo but look at this video and you can see it ...

 

[xtiaan2000]

Oh man! I remember drooling over tht video!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Here's mine, still pretty close, but works.

 

[J Mack]

Here's mine

You are also flipped 180 from Rush!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Yep, and finally got the right fittings instead of using what I had on hand ( brass adapter ).

 

[RUSH55]

The 180° flip will work! Had to grind off the locating ear, but will deal with that later.

Also, does anyone make a new weep-hole channel once it’s flipped?

A 90° ORB to whatever size nipple that is would also be great.

If it's #4 I would use one of these.

I don't remember , thinking I did nothing about that weep slot.

 

[bobm]

My O2 wich don't mean a thing! I would mount coilpacks remotely like the recess in firewall 4 on top and 4 on bottom and build a box or cube with access to hide them in . Hide the wires in a tube or braided line or whatever your desires! Mount the Valve covers and only use the hole at the rear to run to firewall ! No coil packs showing and only a short wire from back of valve cover showing ! Please tell us you are gonna address the inner fenderwell issue .
