Ignition coil wires; recognize this termination?
I was just installing an ignition wire set from 928 Motorsports (these seem really nice, BTW) and everything was going great until I took a look at the ignition coil wires.
What's with this termination on one end of the wires? Look at the bottom side of each wire in the photo. This doesn't mate to the coil or the distributor cap.
I can call them tomorrow (and until then, I'll just leave my old coil wires on), but I'd like to know if anyone knows what's going on here. Maybe this mates to a different kind of coil? My coils are standard-issue, regular coils for an S4.

When rebuilding my coil leads for the 90 GT I noted that there were different connections versus the 88. PET calls up different coil plugs for -88, 89 and 90- . Also different coil part no.s for -88, 89 and 90-.
If they are genuine Beru connections you could just unscrew the old ones from your old leads and swap them - or get back to Carl for the correct connectors

There are two different Porsche coil-connectors. My new Beru wire kit came with four coil wires, two of each type. First noticed this a few years ago when I changed coils from my 968 and saw the different coil-end connectors.
