replacing trailing ignitor

well im gonna have to start with the obvious and work my way from there. im going to be replacing the trailing coil w/ignitor today. the donor will be from my 88 GTU and will be going into my 90 TII.

now before i get started, is there any safety precautions i should take before i handle these components?

yes, disconnecting the battery is always a first. anything else?

everything is going smoothly but right now im at a stop sign.

i have the 3 bolts holding it on taken off, and the small white plug. now i have that big white plug which is a pain to separate. is there any special secrets to take this sucker off?

I don't think there are any special tips for this kind of a job. Pretty much it should have gone like this: unbolt the old one, unplug its wires, bolt on replacement, plug in replacement.
