It is a metal cable about 1/2 in. dia. attatched to bottom of coil when it bolts to the firewall, the other end of cable is connected to key ignition, which I think may have been messed with because there is a push button switch to actually start car. Car will turn over but no spark at all from coil.

All P1800 ign coils are the same from 65 to 73 and there is nothing attached to the bottom. How is it connected / can you remove? What is inside?
Let me know I am very interested
