coil cover

[Scott Sislane]

Finally found a rubber cover for the coil. I feel so much better now. And heat shield socks on the ignition cables.... ahhh

Quick ? sislane,

Is the rubber cover on the wire end suppose to go under the rubber coil cover?

Thanks for the help.

Actually, my Tii has e30 318 electronic ignition and the Bosch factory issued coil does have a rubber cover on the business end. Don't have the plug wire doilies however.

the two wires that connect to the + & - posts are under the cover. If you want the cover to also cover the boot of the ignition cable, you'd have to run the cable through and then attach the boot. Maybe the 320 cover opening is larger, to allow you to get the boot through the cover, but not on this one. I was more interested in getting the exposed + & - posts covered. It's as water proof as I will ever need like this.

It's a catch can. The Valve cover vents into it, instead of the carb's air filter. Oil vapor collects in it, and you drain it every 2-3k miles.
