Pulled the upper intake off today (bolts were finger tight, no wonder my vacuum pressure is at 13Hg...)
Lost the coil pack bolts of course, finally brought out the borescope after 15 mins to help the magnet find it.
Since I have a/c deleted, I had a bright idea to relocate the coil packs to the a/c bracket.
Bracket is easy enough to fab.. a plate and a couple angle brackets
Wires might not even need changing
I'm just not sure what to do about the engine harness plugs. Quickest solution is to cut the plugs off, add wire extensions and solder them in. I'm not a very experienced solder-er, but I can do it. I usually crimp, but crimping doesn't feel right in this case.
Or I can find the right connectors and extend the harness.
Research says they are "JPT" connectors, but from googling there are apparently many kinds of JPT connectors.. and other land rover forum members had tried many and they don't fit right.
So what are the right plugs or should I just cut the plugs off and solder? Is there any electrical sorcery going on with these plugs - (e.g. how are 3 wires controlling 4 spark plugs?)
