Subject:Re: Igntion coil failure
Date:Wed, 19 Jul 2000 10:18:53 EDT

Mine have the green labels.

The thing about the OE wires is that they are set up to go on pins that stick
up in the centers of the connectors on the distributor cap and coil. However,
all the replacement coils I have been able to get from Bosch don't have these
pins in the center of the connector, but rather have the brass insert in
which you need to push the brass connector.  All I was saying was that if you
had the OE wires with the OE cap, the replacement coil could mean a new set
of plug wires (the ones I sell from Bosch have brass connectors that will
either clamp around the pins on the OE stuff or push into the brass inserts
of the non-OE stuff).  Bosch makes both types of wires, and caps.  Sorry
about the length.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
