Good pictures!
Thing on left is a voltage regulator, probably once used with a Motorcraft alternator. Appears to be space junk now.
You are looking for this (picture 1).
Grab the wires on either side of the connector and pull, this is the correct way to take it loose, prying the tabs will break them off.
If my test does not work (that is a 15 amp fuse- just a little protection on my test lead) pull the ignition module out and have it tested.
Have them test it five or more times- they will trick you!
If a new one is needed- test it too, before you leave! Nothing like the "fine, brand new one" not working too! This would result in chasing the wrong stuff for a fix. Been there!
Picture 2 is the test machine at Advance Auto Parts.
You just pulled into our garage, this is the first impression, Do not fret, we will get to a solution with more testing if needed.
I want to know what coil you got and from where. It may matter!
Green wire at the coil (loose one) where does the other end go?
What is the voltage on the positive side of the coil while cranking?
Just trying to put in a lot in in a short time!
