Hi. I don't like the coil that was provided with my Langon Distributor. The Langdon Coil does not have threaded posts on top that you could install a spade style connector on. It's more like a capital " T " style post. My spade connectors going to the coil don't stay on. My question is this. What style coil should I be asking for when I go to my local NAPA store. The clerk said I need to find out what year my disitributor is from. I believe the distributors Langon uses is from a 250 eninge????

Thanks

I just purchased one from Randy Rundle at 5th ave. Internet garage he stands by his products and he is hassle free.. I had the same problem with the Ford coil Tom supplies the twin leads would slip off. I have the threaded posts on my new coil with ring connectors and life is good. Give Randy a shout...a nice guy.

Sorry...I didn't even look at the number and I won't see the truck until next weekend. Have you tried the Electrical Forum some real sharp people and a lot of them run Langdons HEI which is based on a Chevy S-10 PU 1982-87. SJB

I would use Ford terminals on my coil wires, apparently they don't fall off of Fords.
