[s-cars] re: No 4 coil

[Robert Rossato]

You need the proper crimp terminals, which are available from Wurth, and
the proper crimping tool.  Once you have those it's very easy.  New
coils come with enough length of wire to reach the POS from cyl #1, so
no splicing of any kind is necessary.  As you move down the coil pack
from #1 to #5 you'll have to cut off the excess wire   Just did this job
a month or so back on Paul K's car.  Replaced all 5 coils.  Looks like
factory installed, except that the wires aren't printed with the
cylinder number like the original ones are.

Glad to see everyone's back.
