All you have to do is take the bracket off the ignition coil monster the same bolt that holds the throttle cable assembly Halsey on also. And then there's one more closer to the windshield

Who'd you buy your coil from? How much was it?

Hyster puts the Vortec in a lot of forklifts. It's a great, durable motor. Forklifts get used in a lot of extreme conditions and are constantly revving up and down and depending on the application can be shut off and started 100+ times in 8-10hr shifts it's a pretty good testing bed for an engine and the Vortec holds up well. Running on LPG makes a huge difference engine maintenance as well. When I did mobile forklift repair the most common ignition related problem was the pickup module in the distributor. In some of the larger distribution warehouses with 75+ forklifts all running at least 16hrs a day the modules would go out right around 6 months pretty much like clockwork. I used to date and initial every part possible with a paint pen and really got used to the life expectancy on a lot of that stuff. Great vid.
