Tight spaces are no longer the enemy. After three years of focused development, PROFORM has unveiled the industry’s first all-in-one integrated radiator system, which boasts a total thickness of only 4”—making it up to 40% thinner than similar aftermarket products.

PROFORM (69520): Ignition Coil Brackets for GM LS1/S6 V8 Engines

David Ayers Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

PROFORM has the solution for what to do with those pesky coils in confined spaces. The company’s 69520 ignition coil brackets lift your coils off your valve cover so you can see the Chevrolet emblem. How do they work? A unique rail-mounting system attaches to the threaded holes on the valve cover, and the individual coils attach to the rail to allow for mounting in multiple positions. All necessary hardware is included. Also available for LS3/S7 applications (PN 69521).

Note: PROFORM coil brackets are not compatible with AC Delco coils D585 and D581 or stock spark plug wires (which are not long enough); if making your own wires, a 13–15” length is required.

Features

  • For LS1 and LS6 coils.
  • Compatible with PROFORM LS slant-edge valve covers.
  • Includes brackets and hardware.
  • Sold in pairs.
