Champion intake, coil pack and wipers...what are some ideas?

[KevinB]

Have an interference issue with the wiper arms hitting the spark plug wires. Thinking of moving coil pack up but I do not think that will make enough room still. What have some of you guys done?

I had the same problem,i removed my wipers,my car never sees the rain anyway,i know a lot of guys are mounting the coil pack in a different spot(firewall),etc..

Did you ever find a solution for this?

Yes, I swapped in a 5.3 lol.

I didn't mess with it much. I think you could redrill the bracket and move it up a little.

There was a thread a while back where someone made a bracket that moved it 1/4 " forward and up I believe.

Look in the fabrication section under GN1 coil bracket. I sent a place called Front Panel Express my ACAD drawing recently of this bracket, so if anyone wants to order one all they need to do is call them and ask for a specific part#, which I do not have with me right now but if you email me I will sent it to you.

If he doesn't post here, shoot a message to northerngn. I think he moved his over to the side. Maybe he has some pics.

Remove the bolt on the back of coil plate closest to the firewall and then just bend it forward about 2" so it's at a tilt. works for us
