[s-cars] 5 new coils

[Robert Rossato]

As Paul noted, I ordered them from Wurth.  The part numbers are 0558 9957 for the male connectors on the ground terminals, and 0558 9967, I believe, for the female connectors on the positive leads.  I'll have to double check on the female connectors because I ordered both gauge sizes that the connector comes in, but I'm pretty positive I used the smaller gauge one.  Here is a link to the specific Wurth catalog page.

You have to order in packs of 25.  The male connectors were approx. $0.45 each and the female connectors were approx. $0.73 each.  I do plan on keeping a bunch for myself for future repairs, but I have extras I could part with if somebody wants some.

You need to have the proper crimp tool for these types of connectors.  I believe they are referred to as a "W" crimp.
