Marked pins in red. Picture is before I grind it. On black coil just take this notch off with a wheel, dremel, etc.

On original it's not resistor, it's diode. I think it's optional. I did move it to the new coil, but I hear it's not necessary.

Sweet!!! So it looks to be something that isn't too hard! Definitely tackling this when I get the part in.

Yes, took me about 2.5 hours start to finish with breaks. Good thing is that AC driven by separate belt, so even if you didn't finish - just make sure mount compressor back on (3 bolts) and put your fan on and you can drive for couple days..

The coil I received looks nothing like yours. did I get the wrong part?
