    Dan is right, gauge looks good, just need the eyelet type ends. Available at Autozone or any auto parts store. Just cut off the old ends and crimp on the correct ones.

    They're called ring terminals and if I remember right the threads on the coil's studs are 10-32. I use brass or stainless nuts and lockwashers.

    The coil you have in the picture is for a electronic Duraspark set up. There is a harness that plugs on the top of the coil and connects to both terminals. THey really wernt designed for individual connectors.
