Re: #8 coil touching firewall

I installed a 5.3L LM7 in my '70 K10. Definitely tight to the firewall. I didn't want to slide everything forward because it would've affected front and rear driveshafts (besides being a PITA). First I removed the rear mounting coil stud. Then I decided to change my coil brackets totally. Went with ICT Billet coil mounts. Not that it made a big difference, but I think it helped some.
