    Turns out I have seven!!! spark plug sockets!!! Finally got em. Still look great too! While JMB coats my intake and thermo housing, I'll add some ss braided hoses I've been sitting on. Ready for some bloody poked fingers! Gonna do all the coolant fluid lines to motor, sc, and intercooler. Some nice anodized fittings too. Turns out that previous owner add aftermarket braided black oil lines and I never looked before I ordered new ss lines!!!...A fool and his money are soon parted. I do like working on the truck more than my old 89 lx Mustang!....Now that was a money pit and pain in the butt!

    Anybody got a good picture of the coils and wires attached with intake removed. Want to see how the factory setup looked/routed. Thanks.

    Notice the cleaner coil pack. When I first bought the truck, one of the tips was rusty and was causing a backfire. We were able to replace it without removing the intake. It can be done! :rock:
