VR / VS Ignition coil replacement.......

[Cobez]

Ok guys, when i manage to source an ignition coil for my VS Senator i'll obviosuly need to replace it.

How the hell is it done? Never done it before...... Obviously it's a 304 being a Senator :thumbsup:

Its easiest to remove the engine covers, remove the distributor cap, then you will have enough room to fit your hand and a spanner down there, its as simple as removing the bracket the coil attaches to then a coil lead and power/earth leads many many people will tell you that you can reach it without removing anything, but these people must have the girlish arms in the world as i could never manage it.

I suggest you disconnect they battery first i'd hate to get zapped by one of them

he doesnt seem that silly by some of his previous posts ive looked at

Sweet thanks dude ^^^, as i am getting a cylinder shaped coil, i'll have to mount the bracket it comes with somewhere.

anyone got a photo of where its meant to be? i need to find a decent place to put mine

It sits right behind the back of the inlet manifold. I had a decent look yesterday, it's going to be a bitch of a job to undo everything and mount this new cylinder coil i have.

If it's a cylinder shaped coil you have the incorrect one, unless you are installing a non-Bosch equivalent.

I was told that it would work but not perform as good as the square black one........

I was under the impression it would still provide spark and get her started, it just won't perform as good as the black square Bosch coil.

Anyone have any idea as to WHERE i should bolt this new coil up?
