- Disconnect the negative battery cable and make sure the ignition switch
is off. Remove any protective boots from the top of the coil, if necessary
by sliding them back the coil-to-distributor wire.
- Carefully pull the high tension wire out of the coil, twisting it gently
as near as possible to the tower to get it started.
- Note the routing and colors of the primary wires, and then remove nuts and
lockwashers, retaining all parts for installation. On models equipped with
plug-in connections, carefully pull the connecter from the coil assembly.
Clean the primary terminals, if necessary, to ensure a clean connection. Then,
loosen the through bolt or bolts which clamp the coil in place and slide the
coil out of its mount. If the mounting bracket is part of the coil, remove
the mounting bolts and the coil.
- Install the new coil in exact reverse order, making sure the primary connections
are tight. Ensure also that the coil-to-distributor wire is fully seated in
the tower and that the protective boot is fully installed on the outside of
the tower.
