New Coil

Post by Manarius »

I recently bought a Diamond Coil pack off Blackbart. I have two questions.

1. I can't get the stock wires off the old coil! They just won't come off! Is there some trick, or do I need new wires?

2. On my car currently, the label faces forward (on the stock coil). However, for the Diamond pack to plug in, the label needs to face backward. Is that a problem?

If anyone could lend a hand, I'd be very appreciative.

1. The spark plug wires? They should come off with a sharp tug... Since you're upgrading your ignition system, though, maybe it would make sense to upgrade the wires too. Magnecors are only sixty something dollars from Cyber Auto Parts.

2. No problem; that's how it's supposed to be.

Well, I purchased new plugs since the old ones won't come off. I'll keep with just reg OEM ones for now since I don't have 60 to go buy good ones.

But, since the new coil doesn't have any, I'l have to make some stickers for the cylinder #'s...
