[s-cars] Installing New Coil

[Gregory Wolters]

Hi All,

Thanks to the group and Scott's web site, I have
determined that I need to install a new #1 coil.  It
came today and it comes with 2 long wires.  Do I need
to run these all the way to the connectors at the fire
wall or can I simply solder a splice together to the
existing wiring (much easier, I think).  Will a solder
joint compromise the coil's performance?  I was
thinking about splicing a few inches after the wires
come out on the metal cover.

Also, I've figured out taking apart the connections at
the firewall, but how the heck do you remove the wire
and connector from the purple plastic thing?  I tried
sliding a very small screwdriver in from the lower
front of the connection.  This seemed to work once
yesterday but I can't get it to work today.

TIA!
