Fix the topic, Jack
I recommend buying 1 of Solo's 7 nipple distys. http://www.mx-3.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=67359" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; If your coil is the kind with a tower on it, you can plug it right in. I can make this setup for you, whatever way you want. I need the $$ If you want to use your disty, and cap, you can send it to me, and I'll do everything. I don't know how much exactly it would cost, but I'd charge $10/ hour for the labor. I'd put it in my car, and then take it apart, and send it to you.
Here is a link to the "How-to", with approximate prices. http://www.clubprotege.com/wil/howto/hei/index.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
According to it, the cost would be around $60 for the hardware minus the coil. If it takes the estimated 2.5 hours, that would be $25 for labor. So, add the cost of the cap, and that would be a rough estimate I could shrink wrap the connections for whatever it costs, too.
wow i haven't seen that one before. the other how-to's seem so incomplete compared to this one.
the only thing that wound concern me is the HEI is exposed with no cover. I might have to figure out a casing for it or possibly re-locate it somewhere else. hmmm
i'll keep you posted as to when i need this done k? i didn't realize it was going to cost around $100 after shipping and what not. I heard this was a $25 fix but it adds up.
I need to do this before my emissions test though, because the car does have a mean miss, and new plugs did not improve anything (wires/cap/rotor are great).
Yeah, it adds up. Everything I do ends up costing 2x as much $$ AND time as I think it will. I did a completely different HEI/ coil setup that took several days, because no one had done it before. It's in my worklog, if you're interested. It costed over $200, including ZE disty, but it's the best so far.. Almost 60,000v at the plugs (almost 2x stock).
I wanted to have someone do the HEI/ ext. coil for me, too, but no one would. It's actually pretty easy with the write-up.
