Default New custom coil cover made by me!

I installed a steeda fuel rail adapter for my pressure gauge. That screwed up me being able to use the Edelbrock coil covers anymore. So, purchased a set of California Pony Cars coil pack cover and highly modified them to work with the Edelbrock Super Charger. These cover are designed around a stock intake system so, none of it lined up or was even close. The intake runners for one on the SC are much larger. So, came up and a plan to modify them to fit. I did a lot of cutting to make them fit an edelbrock setup and made four small brackets to mount with the ones that came with the coil covers. I think that they came out great.. I re-painted them and added the striping.

What dp ya think?

It looks like it was made that way. Awesome job, really like how they flow with the rest of the bay. Super nice.

How did you paint them?

California Pony Cars, here's the link http://calponycars.com/6-2005-2014-mustang

For a stock OEM intake setup, you won't have to mod anything. They come in two colors, black and silver.

Just lightly sanded them, used a file and sandpaper as well on all the areas I had to cut and shape to fit the Edelbrock SC. Panted them with Krylon satin black. Put the pin striping tape on, then hit the entire cover with satin clear to protect the pin striping tape and the covers.

Im running the Ford Racing polished SC (whipple)...so I dont know if I'd have to mod it but I doubt it. The Edelbrock charger you have is one of the best looking SC's Ive ever seen.

I would say anything other than the OEM intake, be ready to make mods on the covers.
