Mark,

Was the connector you thought was correct the same one that's used on
the D580?  If not, where did you find them and do they have one that
will fit? I hope you didn't have to pay $25 a piece for them!

GM Parts direct sells the D581 coils for $25 and the D580 for $32.


Joe,

I've updated the wiki to make it clear that the D580 connector doesn't
fit the D581 coil.
