It has the electro-loc connection and the proper dizzy connection but, the coil to center dist. cap connection has a pin. I've never seen this. A tag in the box says to remove the terminal clip from end of wire before inserting wire in top of coil. Is it as easy as just clipping off the connector and poking it through the boot? Or am I missing something? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Do you have the ebay item number so we can see what you're referring to?

The high tension lead port in the center of the coil looks like any other coil to me. Is the coil you bought different from the one pictured? Is this pin down inside the port and just not visible in the listing picture? If your coil is different from the listing pic can you post a link to pic of your own showing the problem? At this point I'm of no help to you.

I was in the local FLAPS and the guy in there was familar with this type of coil and told me I just needed a steel wire for it and the wire needs no connector it just pokes through the boot down to the pin. This is new to me. Anyone ever seen this? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Well, I guess we both learned something on this deal. Glad you got it figured out.
