Coil on Plug for LT1

[94z]

I have been thinking about swithing over to on of the coil on plug kits for LT1's. Has anybody installed one on their car?? How do you like it??

If you are wondering what I am talking about check out this site.

This is just one of the kits that I have found.

i have the Bob Bailey LTCC conversion. i love it!!!! had to make my own wires which was not fun. but it is a super nice conversion and a monkey could install it

I'm interested in replies also.

It'll be a ways down the road, but I plan on getting it. One reason is that I BELIEVE it has a window switch and timing retard built in... which would be nice for spray.

you are correct

[formula_95]

i have the kit and its awesome goodbye opti lol

[mrbadlt1]

so this kit completely deletes the opti?

No, it eliminates the high res side (cap and rotor). You still need the base for cam position.

Hi guys, I'm new on this site but I do have a pic of what the LTCC looks like out of the car.

The coils hide the ugly Ford injectors

This looks like a great site. I think I'll have fun and learn something here.

Wow, I remember looking into this a long time ago, but they were saying you had to fab your own mounts for the coils.....back then at least....

Shaft rockers....NICE!!:drool:

[chevyrules85]

kinda an older thread, but 1963ss, im just wondering where you got those coil brackets? those would be great to hide wiring and ugly injectors lol. did you make them or buy them? also does the ltcc have a timing retard built into it? along with a window switch? i didnt think it had either? if it has the timing retard, is it always on, or is there a way to only pull timing when the nitrous solenoids are active? thanks guys!

[1963SS]

Hey Guy, yep, the Bailey LTCC has a two stage retard for nitrous. It can be turned on with the solenoid switch. Go to Baileys website and ask him some specifics. He's really helpful but it may be a day or so before he gets back to you. I got tired of the opti high voltage problems and this has totally taken care of that. Also I shift somewhere north of 7200 and the opti rotor has ben known to turn into a grenade at those RPM's. I was afraid that would REALLY mess up the opti.:)

[chevyrules85]

ok cool thank you! also about those coil brackets, did you make them yourself? and where do they attach at? thanks! oh yeah and does it have a window switch too?

[1963SS]

Hey Chevyrules, I don't know about a window switch, I don't even know what that is. I don't use gas. I sometimes get gas but....that's kinda personal.:drool: The brackets were made with some aluminum, a jig saw and a Dremel tool. I copied them off some car that I saw at a car show in Va. Beach. The coils are just attached in the center with 4 tapped 10-32 screws. The slots in the injector covers are for the wiring. The only thing that shows are the connectors for the wire where they hook onto the coils. Here are a few pics to help if you decide to make some.

Good luck, if you need anything elsefeel free to just holler. Have a great one.. ---Bill---

[chevyrules85]

window switch can be used for lots of stuff, but its hot in a certain rpm range, so the nitrous is only spaying say 3k to maybe 6500 rpm... anyways thanks for the pics, and what exactly do the covers bolt to? looks like maybe the fuel rail? and what do you mean you dont use gas? thanks!

[Frankq26]

i know this is an old thread but to 1963ss
Have you noticed any hp gains or fuel economy gains by switching to ltcc system i am thinking of getting it for my 1995 camaro with the dynaspark distributor that's made for the ltcc system how reliable is it compared just to the optispark... also wondering if anybody has used the efi connection brackets coils and harness with the ltcc system
thanks guys

[QC97Z]

The EFI Connection 24x system is a good choice as well. Completely deletes the opti altogether. You won't use ANY part of the opti whatsoever.

i wish i could go with that system but i need to pass Canadian emissions:shame: and i emailed them and they say its deletes the EGR system because the ls1 pcm doesn't work it properly also i have to change my transmission internals it gets really expensive
thanks for the suggestion thought

[QC97Z]

You never mentioned emissions issues. Nor what type of transmission you have.
Good luck to you.

[Frankq26]

yeaa i know i forgot to say that lol
i have the 4 speed auto 4l60e its a 1995 camaro but the build date was late 1994 also what spark plug wires did you use?
thanks again
