New ignition coil

Hi guys,

I bought a new ignition coil from ebay. I removed the old one and installed the new one. When it comes to put the bolts I noticed that the old bolts did not fit the new coil so I'm stucked. I put the old one back. I went to Auto Zone and Advanced auto parts and they have the same coil I purchased from ebay. Any advice ? I appreciate it. Thanks.

Talk with germanautoparts.com, they are usually pretty reputable. They may have the coils you need. Otherwise, you will have to go to the dealership.

Not sure what you can do with the flea bay parts.

We see this all the time with the MSD coil and cheap aftermarket coils. Get the Screamin Demon coil it fits with the stock hardware and it's affordable.
