I did the same and when I saw the price of replacement I said that this WOULD be fixed so I went to an auto body supply and purchased a bonding powder kit for about $15 and followed directions . Worked great and had NO problems. Now you can solve the coil problem by installing soft grommets between the base and the cover.








this also eliminates any vibrations in this area. Switch to an MSD coil & wires while you're at it .
