Katech coil relocation bracket

[67ragtp]

Can someone tell me where the main bracket mounts, looking at pictures of the bracket its difficult to understand where its actually bolting to. Is it the inside surface of the valve covers or intake manifold mounting bolts? Do they require modifying the valve covers?

Thanks Rich

I think it's pretty slick, I like the design.

Katech Inc. designed coil relocation brackets to attach to the backside of our cast aluminum valve cover. This kit was designed to leave the cover bolts accessible for easy removal and installation of the valve cover assembly. Also Included in the kit is a set of 8 MSD spark plug wires. These wires retain the same resistance as the factory wires so there won’t be any interference with other delicate electronic devices. Recently updated with a new modular design, these brackets slide on a rail to accommodate any setup.

Edit, here's a close up of how it mounts:

Yea, to the inside vertical plane of the valve cover.

It's what I'm running on Penny, very nice design. The main functional benefit is that you don't have to pull the coils to remove the valve cover.

You can see here.. imagine the fasteners like Scott showed holding it the valve covers. The VCs are drilled and tapped for the bolts and there are around 5 per a valve cover.

I haven't been too fond of the newer gen stuff just because the engines often look all cluttered with the extra electronics and prefer the old school stuff from an aesthetics perspective. However, I must admit that dayum, that sure is purty :-)

yep pretty basic- u need to space the coils before u tighten them down- very easy

Thanks Guys- so your pretty much stuck buying there valve covers to mount them. I was wondering if I could mount them to a set of gm center bolt competition Chevrolet valve covers. I amagine the threaded holes in the inside verticle plain of your VC's must have a casted boss. The Katech covers aint cheap, the gm chevy covers are nice for 110 bucks per.

Thanks again Rich
