How does one insert the distributor wire into the coil? A little clip on the metal nose of the wire baffles me.

Well - I removed the coil from the vehicle, cleaned and painted it and the bracket. So, I am attempting to replace what I removed, including the coil to distributor wire. It all came apart fine but not reinserting it. Without the clip, it is too loose. With the clip, it is impossible to insert. I'll visit with my mechanic on Monday. Or, I'll shop for a new wire at NAPA. Thanks for responding - I hope I can help you someday.I thought the little clip was only on one end for the spark plugs? Do you have the wrong sort of leads? You might have the sort of leads designed for dizzy caps and coil with the male lead plugs, rather than sockets.
I wouldn't be so sure about that:Of course, the likelihood of any of you traveling through here in your FJ40 is slim to none.
