No one said it had to go where the F-bods put it, lol.

I just have not had the motivation to look into it....

You could also add a length of rubber hose to a regular funnel in a pinch. Of course the dollar store does sell long funnels so every one should just pick one up one.

That's one good thing about the 3.4- Power steering pump and reservoir are right on top.. Unfortunately, the ignition coil packs are in very hard to reach spot on the 3.4..

You must be short or have short arms

I can reach the coils with no problem. I can remove the coils with ICM on the bracket they sit on in like 5 minutes or less. Granted, I blame it on my experience with 3100s, but I've done it on a w-body with a 3400 just the same.
