I guess I didn't make it clear that the 6.6 reading on the digital meter was across the coil + to - .

Gentlemen,

Thank you for the assistance! Now I can eliminate the coil from my ignition problem.

What do I need to adapt the existing oil lines to the new filter base? My local Napa store didn't have ...

Here is the rack ready to be installed, all painted and pretty!

One of the hardest parts, was painting all that beautiful Red Oak, O.D. GREEN!

Here is a picture of my rack before I painted the truck. I hope this helps!
