Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify terminal style before ordering; this coil uses blade terminals with 4 male terminals.
• Check whether the vehicle uses eyelet or spade connections, as noted in fitment data.
• Confirm 12-volt system requirements and any internal resistor or points-ignition notes listed for the vehicle.
• Review the exact year, make, and model match before installation, especially on classic Volkswagen, Toyota, and Mercedes-Benz applications.
• Use the vehicle’s service information to confirm coil wiring and mounting location, since no mounting bracket is included.
