Subject:Coil Confusion
From:Steve Schwenk

I bought a new coil off of the list, but when i got it,
i found it will not fit.  Joy!  On  my old coil, there
is a post inside where the wire to the distributor
attaches (the "spark plug" type wire).  The wire has a
fiting that grabs onto the post.  The new coil does not
have the post.  Instead, it has a female copper socket
inside much like the ones on the distributor cap.  Both
have the same part numbers.

Anyone else ever run across this.  Is it possible to
buy just the connector/socket so i can convert my coil
wire to the other type of plug?
Thanks!
