Hi George,

The LS-1 coil has internal electronics so that it only needs a logic
signal to trigger it. It's also called an igniter.  All 4 leads are
used.

Signal GND (EC2)
Engine GND
12 V
Trigger

I'm led to believe they are very reliable and they don't stock them because there is little to no demand for non-genuine replacement - so that's good info. They are found in the GM V8 here in Australia but the cost is about $150 from GMH ( your GMC)

I ordered what looked to be the correct connectors, only to find out that they had an indexing lug that prevented them from mating with the coils.  I trimmed the indexing lug off and used them anyway as there is a lock that prevents them from being inserted 180* out.  Just be sure you check it very carefully.  Connectors cost as much as the coils.  Go figure!  You can always do what Tracy did and solder wires to the pins on the coils, then pot the plug hole.  Then use one large connector on the whole bundle.
