Just for every ones information, I found (just
received the shipment 30 minutes ago) a source of wiring components for the LS1
Coil #12558948 harness plug at a much cheaper price. You do
have to assemble the plug and add wire. But the components for 8 coil
plugs comes to less than $28 total (not counting cost of wire) or approx. .
$3.50 per plug. Considerably cheaper than anything else I've found - but
you do have to put the plug and wires together. I personally wanted
aircraft quality wire for my ignition system, hence my continued search after I
received the wiring harness. Also, the length of wire in the already made
harness was a bit constraining as how far apart you could place the
coils.
The plug is identical to the one on the harness and
also the AC DElCO plug p/n PT 368 down to the orange color of
the
weather protector.
There are enough numbers flying around to confuse
folks, so if you are interested contact me off the list for details. Not
everyone will want to wire their own plugs.

Harness II
Just for everyones information if you have the Corvette LS1 coils that
Tracy called
out and Ed and others have (#12558948) and you order the plug/harness from
"gmpartsdirect" you have to enter part #12569111 in the search window of
their Web
site. The part number that will show in the cart will be #12582190 and that
is the
part number that will be on the order and package when you receive it just
like Ed's
photo shows. If you enter #12582190 in the search window it will come up as
"not
found".

Original message from "Ed Anderson" :

No, Dale, I ordered the 12582190 instead of the
12569111. The reason is that I was using the 12558948 coils which are
a bit different that the ones that Mark are using. They plugs may well
be interchangeable, but I didn't want to chance it. The plugs/harness
I ordered DO fit the 12558948 coils
One down side on the harness is that the leads
are fairly short in length which sort of restricts you in positioning the
coils IF you are going to use the harness as it. If you are simply
going to clip the plugs and attach new wires then of course it doesn't
matter.
I am checking into a source of the plugs.
I have ordered the components needed to build up a plug and will check and
see if it fits. If so and you are willing to crimp the terminals on
the ends of the wire and install them in the plug then this source may be
even less expensive and you won't have to clip and splice
wires..
I will let you know in the next week or
so.
