Please god, make it happen...

"The rest of the guys need to sweet talk Ken & Nick... talk Ken into getting Nick a distributor, then Nick can mock up a complete harness for LS1 coils & the Accel distributor, so it is plug n play. Then he can either make up those harnesses, or better yet, send it to Casper's and they can duplicate it on demand for any syty owner. Once that is done the difficulty will be just mounting the LS1 coils and setting the distributor up. So then you sweet talk Mike Lee into making up a bracket for the 4.3 for LS1 coils to mount to, or just buy a set of his valve covers and he can mod it for LS1 coils (speaking for mike here, no clue if he'd want such a project).

Well I am in...

I will be happy to work up a harness.. I can order the Edist today.. I am assuming Harry has one at PTE.

I am not even beyong buying a dist.. if he can "get" me one that would be great... I see they sell the V8 ones at summit for about 290 bucks.

Ken you out there? ... lets make it happen, I will call accel today.. my local contacts for LS1 Coils have come up short since last night.. I am sure it will be no problem though to find them.

Well I DO have a set of coils and wires on my Corvette which is parked right next to my Typhoon.... AHHHHH.... crazy talk now... becoming obsessed.

Hey Brian.. I talked to shaun.... he said that he was told that the 5.3L coils that you have are actually a better coil as far as voltage delivery if you can keep 14 volts to them.. other than that they are as good as the other ones.

Since I am assuming you have confirmed they will work with the Edist and the setup with the accel.. I will take them from you.

Summit says that distributor is on back order and I will call accel directly to see if they can locate one for me. I am getting ready to call FAST also.

But... shaun does have all of the LS1 coils in stock and with the harness.. if you think this is a better route.. please say so.. I will just order them from him. I was just thinking if you have those other ones and would donate them to the cause we can talk.. kidding, kidding, I will buy them.

Maybe you can talk to Ken about the dist and where I can get one?

EDIT: I talked to summit.. they said it would take them two weeks to order it from ACCEL and then they would have to ship it to me. Wonder if Ken can do any better.

I'll get rid of the coils to ya cheap, only issue that would come up is that if you are gonna create a harness for people to use (or for Casper to duplicate), the 5.3 coils have a different plug... and also, I believe there are now * 3 * different coils out there... the LS1, and 2 different style 'truck' coils - even though the ASA LS1 motors used one of the 'truck' style (my nomenclature, for lack of any other designations).

you can pm or email Ken from the board here (warmpancakes)... you'll have as much pull with him as me, seeing as I badmouth DFI v7 all the time :wink: :p

i'll pm ya my #

What I was thinking is this also... if I did build a harness ... it could be made so that it just did not have the ends on it for the coils... since there are different kinds... someone would just have to solder on the ends.

My understanding is that the ASA LS1 trucks used a round type coil because it dissipated heat better than the flat ones but there was no difference in them... just regurgitating what I was told.

I guess Shane said there were three types.
1. Corvette/Camaro type
2. Truck type 1 - flat
3. Truck type 2 - round

I will give you a call in a bit.

That would make sense. I believe I have the round truck type. I also have a 5.3L truck motor on a stand that has the flat truck type. I also have some Fbody spare coils going on my other 6 cylinder vehicle ;)
LS1 coils coming out my ears, i swear.

Casper should be able to duplicate 'em either way, i know he stocks the regular LS1 coil plugs, and he is good with those details, so they can work for you I'm sure.

Hey... I am looking for one of those dual sync distributors for our application and have some questions. I called summit and they said they were custom order and it would take about three weeks.

Any other connections there... how about a free sample... you know, for the good of the group?

Just kidding.. I have some other questions I would like to ask you about it also... in regards to it working with the Edist, etc.

PM me you number or I can PM you mine if you prefer or we can talk via regular email.
