Default Replacement Coil Wire
Hey guys I have a 96+ coil that I need to convert to a 95 wiring harness

It seems that the ICMs are interchangeable but to use the coil I need a new coil wire.

Is it possible to just buy a new coil wire?

My wires are Taylor OTVC wires so if I can even buy the needed boot and connection I could just cut the wire and make my own.

Why do you need a new coil wire? What's wrong with the one you've got now?

The 96-97 coil is a female connection and the 93-95 coil is a male connection.

Oooooo good point, hahah. I'm sure you can order just one coil wire. Give MSD or Taylor a call.

You can buy any AC-Delco wires separately...or you can just nab one from someone that bought an aftermarket wire set. They most always supply the earlly and late coil wire in the set.

I dunno how fast you need it but I could swear my MSD wires came with one of each coil wires. If I can find it you can have it.

Damn... Someone read my mind, I'm in the same boat. I had to relocate the coil due to a supercharger bracket, if any one has an extra one can they measure it? I'll paypal some money for one.
