So far I got the HT wires and intalled temporarily for measurements. It fits. Waiting till Monday to get the shafts to accommodate the wire clips to raise the wires slightly above the alternator. The coil extender harness by Wednesday.

Temporary HT wire installation.
Still waiting for shaft to raise the cable slightly above the alternator.

Hahaha! You wont try it I guess. I use oven cleaner. You will see how the gease dissoves instantly. Then to top it, I use a 1700 psi power wash every spring time no holding back. I power was everything. I even power washed the cilinder head when I did the HG. Lol! Then the engine shine to protect it from cracking.
Cheers


Oven cleaner is the best!

i use a power washer as well, but i use plain armorall as a cleaner/shine. Just spray it on everything and let it soak in for a couple days. then i come back and wipe down the excess later. comes out really nice, but my plastics just arent in the same shape yours are so no matter how shiny they get you can still see the minor scratches and scuffs everywhere

If anyone is interested, you can usually buy a cut to fit spark plug wire kit, or you can buy the wire in spools and make your own. You cut and crimp the ends on yourself.


Might save someone some money.

Next you are going to post pictures of extending/rerouting the electrical connections for the coil packs? This is a detailed, professional-looking modification. I would probably replicate this if it wasn't for my constantly having to repair or replace something. I can't even go pick up my upgraded driveshafts and switch the rear pinion to a U-joint type because something breaks down just about every day. Fresh top-end on a solid (for now) engine that I can't run because of all these junky parts. I haven't decided if I'm going to crush my truck or get it sold to my worst enemy.
