coil plug clip repair

[OWmach1]

Which model can I get the coil plug clips from and which exact tool can remove the terminals for repair? thank you

Those clips are junk! I've broken a few. You can purchase a single coil plug wiring harness from any autoparts store. I just soldered it into the existing harness. Say you have an 04 Cobra though if you want to get the right part number. The s197 GT500s use the same coil plugs as well.

I know they're junk that's why I went to a pick your part junkyard and clipped 3 off a crown Victoria or something similar and got them each for $0.99. Would autozone have the terminal removal/repair tool so I can pop the old clips off and put the new ones in?

I just broke two of mine saturday changing the spark plugs. I went to my local pullapart and got the complete harness off a big 4 door 4.6 Mercury monarch for $3
I got 8 of them and cut one up to see how it went together. you need a small flat screwdriver like use to repair eye glasses. remove some of the electrical tape from the wires next to the clip so you can pull one wire at a time. in the end of the clip use the screwdriver to ply the red plastic piece out the clip. now use the screwdrive and push it in the end of the clip like in picture and pull on the wire should come right out

Darn! I should go to the local pull and pay and pick some up. Do all the DOHC motors use the same coil plugs? So we could get steal the connectors from the aviator, marauder, or mustang?
