Mike - No, those are not the pins I refer to. The coil's center connection (coil wire to distributor) and the distributor's cap connections is what I am referring to to. All Vanagon coils come with threaded posts with 1/4" terminal quick disconnects. Your coil for your 84 should be Bosch 00041 though. -- Jim Thompson 84 GL 1.9 "Gloria" 84 Westfalia 2.1 "Ole Putt" 73 K Ghia Coupe "Denise" 72 411 Station Wagon "Pug" oldvolkshome@gmail.com http://www.oldvolkshome.com *********************************** On 10/22/07, Mike Rocket J Squirrel Elliott <camping.elliott@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks, Jim.
