The one thing that is confusing me is the fact that many of the threads with pics and info are earlier year cars. I believe I see what looks to be the evap purge solenoid beside the coils. I also have what looks to be a knock sensor or something else bolted under the plenum beside the dis module.

one step at a time I guess ! and btw that thread of yours is fantastic !

can't compete with Cliff tho'; he's the Forum Archivist!

When Kinsler shipped my items they sprayed expanding foam into a bag and put on top of the plenum, and a bag under and it surrounded the plenum. I am guessing this process is probably a shipping kit or system they bought....but it worked very well, even for the cylinder head.

A tip for anyone looking to do their top end. Shipping the thing is MUCH harder than the entire job !!

Got some tape and more foam to cover the front and back. Can easily flip this thing around the floor while taping with no worry.




Not really sure why I bought these .. Spares I guess but I'm tempted to use them because they look so much nicer . What's the opinion on msd coils vs stockers ?

I use them on a 90' and they ARE purty.

Then i covered them up with the Plenum.
But.......with TB coolant blocked at injector housing I can remove plenum in 10 min and look at them

Put some more tape on it

Lol I plan to.. but realized that tomorrow ill be crossing the border and depending on the officer I may have to pull over and they'll tear all the packaging off and I'll have to redo it anyways. I did find a box that better fit the plenum.. but its very thin, this coilover box is clearly a beefed up cardboard and I think Im going to stick with it. Will check the recycling at work today for more boxes. I still want to double box it as suggested. We do have some Large plastic bins at work that would be perfect.. Ill be asking if I can take one home with me.

Having mine plugged at the His too Just a thought... HAd an idea to mount a cpu case fan under the plenum blowing air towards the coils and out the back.. Or do you think there would be sufficient flow under there?

Do not think that would help cool engine much as you are just moving hot air around

Good for you on TB block and doing it the right way (blocking at Injector Housing). No one has to know if you leave TB hoses in place. Just have to put a plug on other end going to coolant reservoir but you can leave it look stock

I've considered this too. I got a tower fan, couple HD fans, etc...

ANY air movement is better than NO air movement.

MORE air movement is better than air movement.

Especially for the IG Module...
