HOW TO REMOVE THE IGNITION COILS AND CHECK TO SEE WHICH COIL IS BAD. ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER. NO SPARK. THE ENGINE TRYS TO START, BUT FAILS TO DO SO.
DO YOU HAVE PICTURES OF THE IGINITION COILS?

The partsbook, I looked at, shows you have a distributor. You have one coil.

Have you done any testing, how do you know the problem is the coil? The wire in the center of the dist. cap goes to the coil.

I just wanted to add, the coil wire doesn't go to the center of the dist. cap. The raised button in the center of the cap should lead to the coil wire.
