Can spark plug wire be removed from coil?

Both coils have infinite resistance checked from wire to wire.

I think some people replaced wires on some coils that were not designed to be replaced.
But if the coils are that old, you probably will come out ahead to replace them entirely.

Worst case scenario I'll get used automotive coil with wires and connector, something like that:

Wiring is very simple. 3 pins, one of them is common (ign +), two others are wires grounded by ign. module, one for each coil.martin_csr wrote: There's a guy on another forum who installed a Buick Grand National ignition coil pack onto several of his motorcycles, including the 82 ELR & 79 CB750F. no wiring specifics were provided.
"Buick, six cylinder, black, world's fastest living room, adapt the little wires to your bike."
Common pin has equal resistance to 2 other wires.
Automotive coil can increase voltage up to 20kV. The only problem is resistance of primary coil should match resistance of bike coil + resistor.
BTW, I fixed everything, I was just using spark tester with 4mm gap, tester gap should be close to spark plug gap.
Automotive spark can jump 1/2", bike spark is low voltage, probably 5kV
