Need some help as I replaced the coil on my W124 230 TE year 1986 but did not mark all the wires.
Is there someone who has a similar coil that can check where these connect or else send me a photo of their coil? Thanks all.

The two bolt connectors on the coil are different sizes aren't they, so they should only fit on one way around?

Yes, some of the wires have smaller holes and can only be fitted only to one connector. But these two wires have a larger holes and will fit to all connections and even to the earth bolt. On checking with a multi meter with ignition on, there is a voltage of 12v on one of the wires. I do not want to risk shot circuiting any part of the circuit.

Hi, thanks, you were right. Connected them to the earth bolt and car started on first try.
