It is stubborn stuff, even when we do it. Glad it worked out for you.

Sorry I got in on this one so late..

We can't accomodate the late truck coils in our Enclosed Coil covers because they are so bloody tall.

The wire harness connector to the coil is the same for an early truck, LS2, and LS7 so any of those coils will work without any other modifications. We used LS2 coils in our Escalade test vehicle; works great.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone

you can buy the full 8 rib kit from ATI minus blower and idler pulleys.
For idler pulleys use Metco and for Blower pulleys buy them straight from Magnuson off ebay

Holy ! That ATI kit is more than my new custom exhaust! ...plus I'd have to scrap my damper...pulleys are now at the bottom of my to-do list!
