Maybe one of the on-site gurus can tell us about the differences.

Did you leave the rubber seal inside both parts of the connector??
dave
Donor came without an engine thus can not just switch to connector and replace the donor's coil pack. What I have done so far is take out the wires from the old connector and reinstall them in what I think is the right connector. Not sure if it will work until I solve a fule pump issue and see if it actually works now.

I found what Dave mentioned. I got a coil that I thought was wrong, depsite having the same part number. Didn't fit. Had me stumped.
There was an orange rubber block that's supposed to be inside the wiring harness to the coil, that was also stuck inside the connector of the new coil. That meant I had one rubber block in my own cars wiring harness, and an extra one in the coil. Pulled the one out of the coil, lo and behold, it fit.
If your donor still has that block inside the wiring harness where it should be, and it was left behind in your original coil when you pulled the connector, you have 2x as many of those pieces than you need and you won't be able to stick tab A into slot B.

Not sure if I'm following you about removing the wires Jay.
