The coil fits in the coil bracket, which is normally on the fan shroud.
Take the old coil off the car and set it down with the wiring pointed up. You will see two bolts coming out of the coil, one with a + and one with a -. The + bolt should have a metal piece with a place to hook three push-on connectors; the - bolt should have a metal piece you can hook two push-on connectors to.
So the drill is, move all the wiring that's on the + side from the old coil to the new one, move all the wiring from the - side of the old coil to the - side of the new one, move the center wire from old coil to new, put the coil bracket on the new coil, bolt the coil onto the fan shroud and you're done. It'll take ten minutes at most.
First unhook the battery. Then put the key in (you need it!) and turn it to "on." Remove the steering wheel and the ignition switch just slides out.
Someone put one on it.
inside of the distributor, just put away the cap and the rotor, and you,ll see a plastic cover ..the ignition coil is there,
Well, the engine in a 1974 vw Beetle is in the back of the car. So the brake fluid in front or the back to the left of the right.
Put it in reverse.
take the old one out and put the new one in.
Check for damaged or old ignition wires or coil boots as equipped.
get a volt meter. turn it on. put one end on the +. the other end on the -. if you get a number greater than 12 with the car running then your golden.
If you have the V6, the coils are attached to the Ignition module, which is on the lower side of the engine block in the area of the starter. The coils can be replaced without removing the ignition module. 1. Unplug the spark plug wires. Make note of where each spark plug wire goes, so you can put it back. It might be best to do one coil at a time, there are three coils. 2. The coils are held on by two small screws, unscrew the screws and pull the coil off of the ignition module. 3. Install the replacement coil on the terminals on the ignition module and put the screws back in. 4. Put the spark plug wires back in place.
Raise the car as necessary and put the car on jack stands. The ignition coils (there are three coils) are bolted to the ignition module using 2 small screws. First remove the two spark plug wires making note of which position each is in. Then remove the screws and take the coil off. Reverse the process to install the new coil.
If your car has the V6 engine the ignition coil is mounted to the intake manifold next to the distributor. First unplug the wires from the coil. Take note of which way they come out so you can put them back. Then take out the bolts that hold the coil in place on the intake manifold. The factory original coil is riveted to the mounting bracket, new coils come without the mounting bracket. You will need to take the rivets out to remove the old coil from the bracket. The new coil come with screws to mount the coil to the bracket Once the coil is mounted to the bracket then put the bracket back on the intake manifold. Plug the wires back in, that should do it.
I have 1994 GMC 1500 with 305 mother if you cut the wire that comes from your ignition to the coil can it stop you from having fire to your
