Some coil-on-plug stuff

[badnewz]

Found this in the new GM High Tech mag.

If you want to go COP, in a 4.3, this front cover might make it a little easier.
I wish it was out when I did mine 2 years ago.

That's neat!! I think that would a great/ cost friendly upgrade for a 4.3.

It really isn't a big write up in GM High Tech, just something in the new products section.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how this will work on a v6... V8 trigger wheels will be different.

Re: Some coil-on-plug stuff

Slightly off topic, but I like the project truck they built for testing the coil system... wonder how long the 4l60e will hold up with the AWD from the Ty?

I had already talked to Mike Noonan at Efi Connection about it, You're correct, you'd need a differant trigger. I was leaning towards using an Accel dual sync to supply the crank pulse, but even Accel doesn't seen to know the output rates or timing for their dual sync distributor, for the 4.3's.

Mike makes a nice trigger setup here .

Come on guys, don't give up that easy You know you have to mix and match parts from different vendors to get what you want. Here's my coil-on-plug set up, works great, on my v6 bowtie motor, in my sy:


Aluminum Vortec Distributor (Sealed Cap)
For use with Gen1 small-block Chevy engines. Distributor is used as a cam signal and method to drive the oil pump.

BigStuff3 ecu, set up for v6 LS1 coil-on-plug ( same way some of the buick v6 COP guys are doing it)
(White Racing in Warren, Michigan has a real fast COP buick v6, his website might have some info about it.)

Uses an external 24 tooth trigger wheel. It was a real PITA retro fitting the 24 tooth trigger wheel, on the crank pully. That is why the EFI Conncetion timing cover with the built in 24 tooth trigger would have worked out great for me. Probably, would have saved me about $500-700 dollars worth of fab work.

Anyways that's why I mentioned the EFI Connection tigger wheel. It might help somebody?
