about 2 months ago i purchased an au ute. it had some problems: windscreen needed replacing, all tyres needed replacing, handbrake needed adjusting, headliner was f**k, and a few other little things, because of these things i got the car way cheaper!
Attachment: IMG_1105.JPG Attachment: IMG_1145.JPG so after i had it for a few weeks i noticed that it had a slight miss under load so i bought a new coil pack for it. the bloody location of that thing is stupid so i decided to move it! trying to find others that have done this was quite hard!! so i just rolled with whatever came into my head! i ended up with this: Attachment: IMG_1151.JPG i drilled and tapped 2 m5x0.75 holes, and used 2 cap heads to secure it. after all of this i discovered it was number 6 spark plug lead so ill order a set form ebay 8.0mm blue ones. anyway hopefully i'll be adding little updates on this thread..... someone/ something might find it useful!! cheers, fullyforded You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

I put it there because I couldn't be bothered to put it where it came from! I was trying to find somewhere else but really couldn't, the heat issue did come to mind so on Monday I'm gonna turn up some spacers to help heat dissipation.
I was thinking though would the rocker cover really get as hot as the point that it was mounted to? Everything gets hot in the engine bay ( wow that sound stupid)

I forgot to say that it's gonna get one hell of a tidy up to make it look presentable
