Pulled out the Marelli Coils (still functional) and excitedly replaced the pair with the new URO OEM coils. Placed the distributor wire on and watched it slide right off.... Tried several times and concluded, THIS IS NOT WORKING! I examined the inside terminal and it is different than my orig Marelli.

Orig Marelli has the inside 3/4 of the "tube" lined with brass conductor and a short 3mm dia post at the bottom. The new URO unit has no metal lining and a slightly longer post the diameter of a toothpick.

I have a big photo shoot this weekend where another person (non-technically inclined female) will be driving this car approximately 200 miles. This coil thing is a scary proposition.

Is there a special wire I need for this new stuff? Thanx in advance!

 

I contacted URO directly and they DO NOT know of a special wire. I am putting back the original Marelli coils and will have to return these UROs.
