Which connector? I asked my buddy to grab me a coil connector and he mistakenly got an ICM connector, I could see if he still has it.

Re: Need help finding a part =(

napa can get it but they only offer it in 2 pigtails so u would have to solder the wires together to make one whole connector.

best bet is any junkyard, any 2.8/;3.1 car or 305/350 car with the remote mount coil will have it. infact mine was damaged on my car i went to the junkyard and pulled on off the first pickup truck i came across in the yard
