EFI Coil conversion Brackets
Is there anyone on the forum that has used EFI coil conversion brackets that would be willing to make me a cardboard template ?
I realize it would be a pain to take one off and trace all the holes, cutouts, outside etc on poster board.
HOWEVER, there would be at least 2 board members that would be grateful and I would pay the postage and the cost of the poster board.
I have an idea on how to get them working on the composite valve covers, it would sure be easier and cheaper to use a cardboard template to see if they would work.
This kind of applies to to the folks that have 1992 cars (hint hint).
The deal is, if I can get it working with my idea, I will distribute the solution to the board for free. I have a thought on how to build new attachment bolts that would allow the attachment of the EFI brackets, I need to see if the brackets will still clear the alternator bracket.
I ordered one off eBay (attachment bolt) last night so I could measure the flange and determine the length,size and pitch of the threaded end (yes I could have walked out to the garage and took one out of my car.....).

Check this out. To get that bracket installed, you'll have to remove the valve covers' bolts out. Do that, remove the passenger side valve cover, and do your template.
Cheaper, faster, and you'll save postage money.
I think i have an extra set of those brackets from EFI if you would like to buy them at 50% of the cost let me know.

which coils are they for ? if they are the ones for my coils, i am interested.
the reason that i need a template for an efi bracket is they are all PROBABLY pretty close to each in layout. if my idea works it will replace the bolts themselves, just the cap bolts, not the internal studs. if it works then folks can use the efi brackets
