Mate,it's a 10 minute job.MAX!
Can you give me some tips on doing it.. im not gona pay 200 bucks to some guy for a 10 min job lol.. sigh* mechanics
Sure!
- Unplug ya leads (mark them 1,2,3,4 so you can match them when putting it back together)
- Take off the dizzy cap
- Take off the rotor,it's right in the middle,remove with phillips head
- Under where the rotor was will be another phillips head that will need to be undone and a thin round metal thingy :) needs to be removed to make room for the coil to come out.
- Unplug the 2 wires on the coil (remembering which way they go back)
- Remove/replace coil
- Put it all back together
Take your time,patience is the key.Don't wanna go forceing things and breaking them.A beer will help with that! WORD! :)
his one might be a external coil?
standard
Nope,it's in the dizzy

Personnally I would upgrade to a Crane Cams LX91 coil + MSD dizzy cap.
great work Brett but just a few thoughts -
Firstly ALWAYS disconnect the battery before any electrical work on cars. Simply disconnect the NEGATIVE terminal.
you dont need to take off the leads - just unscrew the 4 x small philips heads and slide the dizzy cap off. Easy
Finally , since this is a once in a 10 year kind of issue - replace the coil with a OEM "TEK" coil from a good spare parts supplier. It should cost around $80-100 for the coil itself. Dont bother with any aftermarket brands or external coils that promise extra power etc - they simply dont last as long as OEM :)
