Hi:
Well I finally resolved my no spark issue but in the meantime noticed this empty - but used looking - spade lug on the top of the fan housing. Any info on what used to go there would be appreciated. '73 1.7L Thanks, Ron |

Thanks everyone - this has turned into quite an interesting topic. Amazing knowledge base on the forum!
I'm going to check the engine # this weekend and see what I can learn about my power unit. Now I'm curious about the coil location - mine is clamped above cylinder #4 with a very OE looking U-bracket, while most of the photos here show it strapped to the front of the fan cover. My fan cover also has the cast "coil saddle" in that area but it's empty. I'll report back once I learn more. Thanks again, Ron |
