Installing Hypertech Power Coil on a 1984 2.8

Just got my new coil in the mail, however, the engine harness doesnt exactly link up to the coil. mine is a long connector and the connector on the coil has two side by side banks of two connectors

So, what year cars must I go chop the connector off of to connect this sumbitch? I'm heading to the junkyard tomorrow morning with a knife in hand.

Heres the coil itself:

I have a 84 as well, the connectors you need are on 85 and up.
I still need to get a new coil on mine, but I have the proper connectors now
