Well it really wasn't re-wiring. i left the stock coil in place in case i
ever need it again, i took the wire and cut off the plug, i had to re-route
it to be able to reach the fender. The green wire is the positve, i crimped
some connectors on the end and put them on the coil. It wasn't a big
difference, i noticed a little better top end, and it runs smoother. Gas
milage was about the same, a little higher, an average of 13. I had to go to
NAPA and get some replacement end for the coil wire. the ends are
differenet. stock coil is a male plug while the Blaster 2 is a female plug.
You can get the mounting bracket from a parts store for around $5. Make sure
where you mount it, the screws woun't hit the tire, and you aren't
stretching the wires going to, and from the coil. Anything else, ask.

Yes! you are the person I want to talk to (no offense to anyone else). That
is
the Coil I came up with also, and I was just curious about the re wiring
issue.
I actually want to re-mount the coil anyway to the fender. Did you run into
any
issues with the re-wiring, and also what differences (if any) did you
notice
after installing the Blaster 2.........??
thanks,
