Delco coil
If I was to replace my magnavox with a 92 - 95 Delco coils and icm , from what I read they would bolt up ok ?Also how do you cnnect them is it just a plug connector,as I didnt understand the one thread it looked like you had to hook up wire for wire and is it hard to do? Thankyou

well ,I got good news and bad news,good news is I went to the yard and got myself a set of Delco coils ,ICM and mounting bracket Not sure the year possible 93 -94.I also got a strut tower brace,I got home and looked at my bill which was 60$ for both and she charged me only 4 cents for some reason ,not bad eh .The bad news is I broke one bolt off tightening strut brace ,any suggestions what to do.It seems to be okay.Also I have the coil and ICM apart should I put dielectric grease on it when put back together and where ,any other tips would be helpful for installing.

The coils them selves can be tested off the car with a multimeter. Just check the resistance across the two terminals of each coil and make sure they register and are near eachother in value.

Yup, I'm guilty of breaking my upper strut mount bolt. How dumb of me! 
Since the struts needed to be replaced next summer, I just mig welded the stud to the body, temporary fix till I replace the struts and do some work to the frame.
