When I did mine, the new cap adapter had a manufacturing defect. There was a piece of plastic sticking out of the undercut on the bottom where it fits over the distr. base. New parts can be defective.

UPDATE. OK, got a few hors off so I checked out the rest of my parts. The Borg-Warner C194A IS the right one. The one I got from Autozone is the Wells f958 and it didn't even look close to the b-w one. The C194A snapped right on just like everyone said. Now what I need to know is if I got the right coil. I'll post pics in a sec, and if it is right, how did everyone mount theirs up? Pics are really helpful, or a good Barney level explanation. Thanks!

Not to hijack the post, but couldnt you just use a high performance "can" coil? like a msd blaster? That way you wouldnt have to worry about mounting and finding a plug for the coil.79 Cherokee Chief 401/T18/D20, MPFI fuel injection, hydroboost, otherwise stock.

I was mostly looking to fab one if possible cause I wanna get that coil in yesterday, if ya know what I mean. I got what amounts to the basic upgrade installed now, and it smoothed out so much I'm all excited.
J&G, don't know much about how all this works to start expounding on the subject, so I don't know. I would tend to think there's a reason they specify that square type coil, also I mounted one of those in the stock config., straight swap style, and if the MSD high performance can coil makes any difference, I never felt it. could be cause of the rest of the stock components. Thanks all!

simple stupid coil mount . piece of angle iron with about inch and ahalf flats. wide as coil. drill one hole to mount to manifold . use coil as template drill two holes mount coil on edge with appropriate nuts and bolts point coil towards disrtibutor.solder wires and insulate connections with heat shrink tubing slip a piece of split loom over wires. presto your done . observe coil wire polarity as markedhenryComment

Nice write-up 83wag. You need to edit your spark plug gap to .044? from .44?.
I fabricated a coil bracket from some angle iron. My bracket relocates the coil forward 3? and up 1?. This gets the coil out in the open with some airflow around it instead of lying on top of the manifold. Then I was able to relocate the float bowl solenoid valve from lying on the manifold, too. Now the plug wires have a nice route to the pass side in open space where the old coil cluster-puck use to be.

WHAT HE SAID!!!! only thig I did differently was mount the coil side ways My thought was that water which has been know to splash up under my hood.might collect in the connector and cause corrosion .by mounting it sideways water and other things like SALT would drain out.true once the beast got hot it would cook the water out but not the salt.henryComment

My understanding was you had to change the coil partly for impedance .
Big thread on the math behind it at the eagles nest, and only one can coil has the proper impedance to work correctly with the stock ECM.
People have had the ECM/MCU fry with coils of the wrong impedance ....Comment
