I have a really stupid question.
do you really need to secure down the coil packs to the valve cover? I am switching from the 04-05 style to the 06 and up. If I have to I am going to make different hold downs using the 04 hole pattern. is this really needed? they seat or click on the plugs just like any other plug wire.
I didn't have hold downs on my traditional small block plug wires.
I am sure I am missing something so please smack me around and get me on the path of Gen 3 again.
thanks again for the help
I ordered/bought a bunch of stuff Wednesday and am getting closer to firing this thing up
Thank you Kiddart

While I don't think they would go anywhere I do think the vibration over time could cause problems.

they are expensive, at least the ones I have found. I am trying to keep this to a bare minimum swap. I guess I need to prove to myself that a junk yard hemi can run and run well. Seeing isn't always believing. So far I am in for about 3K on the swap. Headers and Computer have been the biggest cost.
Thank you Kiddart
