Ok, first off, what a stupid place to put the ignition coil. I spent a few hours yelling, swearing and getting my hands cut up to get nothing done.
Now thats off my chest, anyone have any suggestions on how to remove a rounded bolt on the top of the ignition coil? The top bolt holding in the bracket is rounded, the one you can't actually see. Also the replacement Bosch one I have seems to have a different terminal location, they appear to be on top. Thanks much. |

remove the coil from the bracket and then get a set of vice grips onto it, that's about all you can do, eithier that or pull the manifold off and you open up your options greatly.
Gab EDIT: Another option is to mount the new coil somewhere else and forget the old one even exists, lol |

If all else fails I'll be moving the coil to a new location LOL. |

Back bolts are a prick to get to, a ratchet spanner makes life so easy, dont forget where all the hoses/wires go, and make sure u get the fuel lines around the right way or it wont start when u put it back together. Other than that not much have fun.

I also want to do the dizzy cap and rotor button so might as well as do that crap while I'm down there. |
