I've had a coil pack relocation kit installed for the past 4 years (made and sold by a member, LR03NJ), and it has had not issues, and was happy to get the packs out from between the manifold and firewall.

However, I just ran into my first downside with coil relocation.

I had to replace the alternator, and to do so easily I had to remove the bank 1 spark plug cables from the coil pack to be able to easily pull out the alternator. (they go over the top of the engine, across the alternator and AC compressor)

In the process of removing one of the boots from the coil pack, I managed to snap off one of the coli-end connectors on the plug wires.

I found a kind of replacement from O'Reilly's -- a single universal coil wire with an included package of connectors designed for different coils.

I managed to take the spring steel band and the white doughnut insulator off the broken original and fit it on to the new one, crimp the wire with the exposed, folded back carbon core onto it, and fish it thru the boot.

It works, but it is pretty rigged up.

Before I go and buy a new wire set (I think it is IGN 790GC from Kingsborne), having now made/repaired my first coil wire ever, I was wondering whether anyone knew where I could get just that coil-end connector so I could repair the wire correctly?

 

NAPA would have wire ends. Also, lightly spray the boot with WD40, then slip the wire through the boot, then attach/crimp new wire end on. Much easier.

 

That's actually the sequence I did it in, not what I wrote. Would be really hard to push connector thru skinny wire end of boot.

Thanks for NAPA advice. I went everywhere but there.

 

went to NAPA and no luck.

 

When I rebuilt my HT leads I got the M4 female pin type terminal from a UK dealer…

Thanks, that was exactly what I've been looking for.

I have custom wires for a coil relocation kit.

The wire set came from Kingsborne and have exactly that connector, which frankly is kind of flimsy and fragile at the 90 degree joint, which is where I broke mine.

However, check out this new style connector (also from UK on eBay) that is way, way structurally stronger than the "old" design. I hope that whoever came up with this got a design patent on it and makes a bunch of money as it feels like you could lift an 80lb bag of sackrete with it and it wouldn't bend.

I can't wait a couple of weeks for something from the Brits, so I thought I'd see if some standard NGKs might have this type of connector and they did so I am just going to cannibalize that (in truth, I was not aware of this stronger new style connector but ordered a standard NGK kit and to my surprise they came with it). Basically, a $30 coil terminal (or $4 each if I eventually cannibalize the other 7 as well).
