Q: Ignition coil trouble for Toyota corolla 2000

asked by on December 13, 2016

My car's engine locked up so I needed a new engine. But the thing is that the ignition coils on the new one look different from the one in my car.

My mechanic told me that I couldn't put in the new one because of the ignition coils.

How the new engine looks: https://goo.gl/images/CWYHeO

How the old one looks: https://goo.gl/images/wYkFQ9

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks.
