Mark,
Good suggestions, never thought of
that.
I went to a auto supply specialist the other day
and he told me that the wiring is only + ve and - ve ( two wires) and in fact
some coils ( in Australia) have non-plug type connections ( thread and lock
nut).
Does Tracy use the LS 1 coils for any particular
reason i.e.because there much lighter or something like that. I'm led to believe
they are very reliable and they don't stock them because there is little to no
demand for non-genuine replacement - so that's good info. They are found in the
GM V8 here in Australia but the cost is about $150 from GMH ( your
GMC)
Also can someone explain the wiring of the
injectors, I didn't ask about that.

Joe &
Dale,
Just a bit of caution
here. I’m using the D581 (Chevy pickkup version) coils. I ordered
what looked to be the correct connectors, only to find out that they had an
indexing lug that prevented them from mating with the coils. I trimmed
the indexing lug off and used them anyway as there is a lock that prevents
them from being inserted 180* out. Just be sure you check it very
carefully. Connectors cost as much as the coils. Go figure!
You can always do what Tracy did and solder wires to the pins on the
coils, then pot the plug hole. Then use one large connector on the whole
bundle.

Correct numbers
are D580 and D581........Electrically the same.......D581 is
slightly
smaller and has plug and elect. connector opposite
ends.......D580 has both plug and
elect. connector on same end.........Bob White is
trying to source connectors for the
D581.......He has connectors for D580
now........
