Yeah... except as soon as I gave it more than mild throttle, I felt the full effect of that gap. Hesitating, backfiring, etc... I'll say this much though, worked great when I first put it in. So I don't really know when the stupid tab came off.

EEeeeeehhhhh.... might want to wait on that. I can't verify that it's done anything up to this point, because for all I know, the stupid electrode tab has been off the entire time.

If you're asking where the coil is, it's mounted to the block with two bolts, located between the distributor and the A/C compressor

Good question. I don't know what the hell just happened with the app, but your post and my quote both showed a different picture

Two foremost thoughts are sensitivity to heat, or submersion prevention.
