Pony Motor Coils

So I've burnt 2 coils already forgetting to turn the ignition off. My light doesn't work and with other distractions that equals forgetfulness. I am currently about ready to order the new coils. The last coils I bought were from this website. When I received them, I noticed in the spark plug receptacles on the coils, and they are not the same type of connector. The ones on the new coils have threaded studs were my old ones have the female plug type receptacle. Since my spark plug wires are male ends this does not lend itself well to connecting the spark plug wires to the coil. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do or where to get coils that will have the correct connector in the coil?

Change the wires. You have been alert and thinking which has identified one of the prime frustration causes around starting engines. Before the headaches, frustration and waste or time and money occured.
I would say nicely done sir.

Those coils are expensive. To make sure it doesn't ever happen again all you need is an old GM oil pressure switch. Run the hot wire that normally go's to the coil to the oil pressure switch. From the other side of the switch to the coil. That way you will never have voltage on the coils unless the motor is spinning enough to build oil pressure. As soon as pressure drops voltage stops. You should find more detail on it by doing a search here. Seems like it was Clooney that first posted it. I use the same thing to excite my alternator. Been that way for 30 years and it's foolproof.
