Hey Joe, hey Jim.

Yeah, them guys REALLY threw us a sinkerball when they took those
internal HEI coils (which DO have all the connections) and made their
"external" equivalent. Tain't the same beast anymore. Phooey!

Well, not to worry, check my other post on same subject, I think I have
a candidate but it's not much better in terms of supply source than a
motorcycle coil, methinks (it's the Mitsubishi coil). Sigh.
