1. That doesn not strike me as a problem, since the "earlier" cars in
question have the same ignition system as the slightly "later" ones.
Meaning the coils are the same.

2. But look closely... as I recall, some of those "plugs" on coils and
such are compatible with both types of wire, aren't they?  In other
words, they have the little post in the middle, *and* a conductor area
surrounding the hole, which the old style wire will make contact with.
