Default coil packs

is there a way to get rid of them and have regular spark plug wires? im tired of all this electrical stuff on my truck. i want it more like the old days less wires, less electrical, which leads to less problems. has anyone done this or know of a way? like i have said on other threads i have to much time in my day because i can think of things all the time. i just want to people to know options out there and possibly work on them myself. i did find a cold air intake for the 5.4l v8 its like 70 bucks cheaper then other ones on ebay it only adds 5-10 hp so not as much as the others but anyone looking for a little gain thats a cheap add on. and does anyone know what it would do if i added a throttle body spacer on there as well? ive been thinking about buying one but only if it is a plus and not just something to be like oh yeah i did that. i get 500 dollars out of my next check for truck upgrades so ideas are welcome.

Default Nice Thoughts; Bad Dreams:

The best way to do what you want is to find an early eighties ride before electronic engine management was introduced and buy it.
The new machines are integrated electronic systems employing engine management, transmission management and general electrical management. The scheme is extremely complicated and trying to make major changes in one system will impact the others.

and yes a gryphon is a charter in alice in wonderland. i watched to old version just the other day then watched to new one. i have to say doing some good ol shrooms and watching the old one is a great experience. but that was before these days. now i have more responsibilities to take care of and do not mess with that stuff. i will say though, that movie made alot of sense when i did and i know what the person was thinking that wrote the movie
