[s-cars] Coil Substitute?

[chris chambers]

Paul,

I had that same issue with my spark plug cable cable ... as a temporary fix I wrapped the boot with
Gorilla brand duct tape.  Eliminated the miss until I sourced a replacement cable.

Gorilla brand duct tape is readily available at many hardware and home improvement stores.



HTH

     Quick followup.  Big
 thanks to Mike Sylvester who had a spare coil he 
 let me borrow!  Turn out it was not the coil,
 but the #5 wire.  Shorting 
 right through
 the boot at the spark-plug to the valve cover gasket. 
 Presented just like a bad coil.
 
     Now I just need to
 source a replacement wire from my FLAPS!
 
     Thanks for all the help!
