No. Two bolts bolts stripped from coil pack last year. Not the bolts that secure bracket to block, rather the bolts the secure coils to bracket. 2 are missing but the coils are firmly secured with remaining bolts. Not sure about any braided cables.

 

I've seen packs with only 2 bolts work fine, but another member swears all 4 are needed for grounding.

tap out larger hole and fit with bigger bolt.

wide/flat braided cable at driver side head bolts to firewall stud, 13mm I believe

 

Can you provide pic or part # of cable?

Ill source the bolts for the coils if I can find them. 8 total, 4 for each coil. Right now I have 3 bolts for each coil.

 

All 4 bracket bolts are there?

i don't have cable part number.

open your hood and look.

 

If Im not mistaken there are 2 bolts that secure coil pack + bracket assembly to the block. Then there are 8 more smaller bolts that hold the coils to the bracket itself. 4 bolts per coil. 2 of 8 stripped. I have 3 bolts per each coil.

 

4 bolts secure the bracket

 

Chin up. It's a ****ty deal but you've come this far with it.
worst case scenario if you can get it out to Seattle you could stash it in my shop next to the black on black ace equipped rust free d2 and swap all your bolt ons and good stuff over to the rust free truck while you work up in AK. Once it's ready, catch a ride or flight down and drive it home up the Dalton hwy.
do you still have your old 4.6 block that was ticking?

 

The braided cable is the rear ground and it is attached to the rear of the driver head and a post on the firewall. You should be able to see it just standing at the driver fender.

Replacement is about 8 bucks at any auto parts place.

IMHO the coil pack bolts are not critical. Mine were missing for ten thousand miles with no misfires. I replaced them later

 

My bracket has 2 holes. I removed 2 bolts last year the first time I replaced the coils.

 

Re:coil pack. Im with Charlie but thought it's worth a try
