Normally i would get them done elsewhere but i need to save $ for a new head gasket. How the hell do you get to the coil? Do you have to undo the intake manifold or is it easier to do it from under the car when its jacked up?
Cheers. |

Jack it up or just wait till your car is cold should make it a little easier for you!!!

Hehe this is a right proverbial of a job to do... I remember when I had to do the rotor button, dizzy cap, leads and plugs on my EL 6... NEVER AGAIN. The poor children next door to me heard every swearword I know, and then some!
One thing that shat me off - when I put my new dizzy cap back on the frigging centre contact graphite thing snapped off and went flying off to god knows where!! (Bought another one, much to my annoyance!) I heard/read something once (might've been here): "Ford took a distributor and built an engine around it". Too true.
