Well I think it's all fixed now. I installed the new coil and soldered on a new connector. It runs fine at idle and revs ok, the true test will be out on the highway but I'm pretty confident it will be good. Here's what the old connector looked like, it's no wonder I had a misfire.
Here is the repaired connector, soldered and heat shrink tubed.
I put the factory wire loom junk back over the new end of the wire but I feel like I need to cover the rest of it with something.
I also noticed, as I was soldering it that there were a few broken strands in the factory side of one of the wires. I hope it's just a result of the harness being too short and not an indication of what the rest of the wiring in the car looks like.
So what say you BITOGers, plastic corrugated loom stuff will be sufficient for covering and protecting my splices?
Also, the new plug, because it was technically not for this application, did not have a rubber seal. The old one was pretty stretched out but I reused it anyway. Between that and the dielectric grease that came on the new connector I think it will be ok.
