[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I will get to drive the snot out of this thing while testing and setup. I have two miles of old logging road we call a driveway that can be quite interesting! DIRT EVERY DAY
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]My coil pack connectors are super tight. I cleaned the inside of all connectors and the rubber gaskets. I make sure each wire is firmly seated in the connector and on its mate (push the wires on not just the connector). I like the idea of a dab of silicon to help keep things firm.
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]I have never had a coil pack connector issue on a 5.0! Not one of my trucks anyways and I beat on them daily

[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]All pins and wires checked. Connectors tight to coil pack

[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]External coil drivers are required when we run DUMB coils.
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]If you run SMART coils then the external drivers are not required.
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]This makes sense, otherwise Holley would have just put the coil drivers inside the PCM
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Our waste spark coils are for sure dumb (two wires)
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Smart coils have more then two wires and can be found on later model Chevy and Fords I believe
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]DANG CAT jumped up on the engine and got cat hair all over my coil pack!! LOL if I saw that before the picture I would have cleaned it off
[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]Shop cats, gotta love em
