RE: FREE Stainless Steel Coil Mounting Screws

[nos4gn]

Thanks to everyone that has purchased ACDelco ignition modules w/ FREE ignition coil packs.

Based on feedback we received from a very good customer, we would like to post the following;

FYI: Do not use the free stainless steel coil mounting appearance screws supplied to tap out the threads in the bosses of the new module.

When replacing the ignition module, it is necessary to tap coil mounting screw threads in the bosses of the new module. Although it is recommended to use the proper size/pitch thread tap to perform this task, it is also possible to use the original regular steel torx-head coil mounting screws to accomplish this. Although the stainless steel mounting screws are corrosion resistant and look great, they may not have the hardness necessary to tap out new threads in the new module without presenting difficulty.

After you finish tapping out the threads in the new module with the proper thread tap or the old regular steel torx-head coil mounting screws, you can then install the new stainless steel appearance screws without a problem.

Feel free to PM or call me at 847-612-6969 for any further information.
