I spent the evening laying out my firewall forward.  I was going to wait 
till everything aft of the firewall was complete, but I've got to get 
the general layout settled so that I know where the hoses and wires are 
going to pass through.

Anyway, I'm using the LS1 coils, and plan to mount them on the engine 
below the spark plug as several other have demonstrated...strung 
together with 1/4" all-thread and spaced with some 3/8" aluminum tube.  
But then I started to looking at what I'll be running that all-thread 
through, a bundle of thin metal plates that is supposed to keep the 
electrical energy concentrated within the coil.  What will be the effect 
of running a steel rod through them?  Will it connect them all 
electrically?  Am I being goofy?  Inquiring minds want to know.

I got my degree, but I never really ever got a handle on how those 
magnetic fields work.  I can't even remember the proper names for all 
the parts.
