I remember hearing some guys complain about this along time ago. What do you do to take care of it? After installing my motor, I've noticed that the #8 plug wire boot at the coil pack is hitting the heater box. Pics/help greatly appreciated!


thanks!

ive heard of using truck packs as they have more clearance.. or you can try takin the coil pack off and movin that last one around in the bracket or something? :|

 

Yeah I was going to try and move it around or even make a different mounting bracket but that's alot of work if there is a simple fix. You not running a heater/ac box in yours??

 

theres an expensive fix with the relocated packs

i cant find a pic close up of anyone running the full box

tom's car had the box and everything in there.. maybe he will chime in

speartech's got the truck pack on there

just watched 5.0camaros vid again and hes got the ls1 packs and a full box so maybe he's got the solution



my solution was to remove everything for max clearance until i can get a proper box

 

mine cleared just fine, but i'm running a hawks tubuler k-member, so i really dont know how much different it would be with the stock one.

I just ran truck coils. I swapped over the hole right bank bracket.

 

How much are the truck coils? Where you'd guys get them??

 

mines really close, but it clears.... no idea why mine clears when others dont.



i do have a steel 83 camaro heater only box on though.....

 

That's probably why then.

*When you gonna help me figure out my wiring????


Anyone else?? I think speartech or someone "modified" their AC/heater box for clearance. Not sure what I'm going to do. I've been waiting on a call back from Bruce Hawkins for some swap details.

 

as soon as you tell me what you need help with...

lol..


soon as i get back to work (tuseday) i'll start making a chart or somthing so its easier to visualize the wire connections...

 

PM sent back, thanks bro!

 

Sorry guys I just saw this. What Bruce did for me was to trim back the edge of the box seam. He then resealed the box . It is real close between box and coil but they don't touch I will get a picture next week. Camera is on vacation with the wife.

 

If the tubular member clears that means it must be a small drop crossmember. So if ya shim your stocker 1/4-1/2 it should be the same.

 

Shim my stock k-member??
