Pictures would greatly help. If it's the coil bracket like stated it above, it will have 2 holes about and inch and half apart.

Just my opinion, but stay away from the painless harness, thier harness only deals with engine wiring and has no provision for the accsessories. I'm not saying it is a bad product, it's just more meant for a retrofit job.
Your best bet would be to find a donor car that you can strip for the parts, probably be cheaper in the long run.
