Just got a group A coil for my cossie, but the connections are not the same as the original one.
Does it matter which wire (green and black) goes where ? Or, are they interchangeable ?

the group a coil viewed from above looks like this, which connector should I plug the green and black wires too ?

=
O <- coil lead to dizzy
=

(the = are spade connectors).

Thanks in advance.

The green goes to teh one marked as negative.

 

Cheers stu, much appreciated

 

Does it make a difference then fellas? I got told it's just a gimmick

 

Dunno m8, had to change mine and the grp A was only a few quid extra so I thought why not.

I suppose it can help resale for those folks (like me) who don't really know if there is a real difference. I mean the car's got rally bits on

 

no its not a gimmick. it really works. i have no misfires anymore.

cheers

 

Ok cool, i'll go get one then eh!

 

They sure work - check this out ! No more mis-fires

On a more serious note, it didn't cure the misfire on mine, but I never got a chance to try a slightly smaller plug gap due to the above happening before I got home

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Damn i am SO sorry to hear that, i hope everything works out ok for you

 

Yeah, me too. Should have said that the new coil and leads DID make a difference, I had the same misfire with the new with a .65mm plug gap whereas I had to gap the plugs to .5mm for the car to be more or less driveable with my old leads and coil.

Whether the improvement is down to new leads and coil, or, the grp A coil alone I am not sure, and I certainly can't swap new for old again to find out at the moment (see above post) !
