The loom kits are made by the Made-For-You company. If you go on their site and find the dealer locator, they are also distributed by alot of other smaller retailers as well.

so go with the top or side mounts u think?

I went with top mounts. They seem to be the most popular choice. With the top mounts, it keeps most of the wire farther away from the header than the side mounts would. I guess that was what made the decision for me.

No, it does work. You use the 90* boot on the coil end, and then its a opti style connector that you crimp on to it... Thats how I did. Pre 96 coils use a "Spark Plug" style male lead. 96-97 coils have a "Opti Style" Female Connector.
