I'll say it's junk. You have to be ultra careful sliding those on/off.

I keep several on hand...and track test them in high gear. If the ignition doesn't break down...then I call them good. The stock stuff from NOS4GN works fine. Accel sells one with brass terminals.

It can be fixed.  Flux the hell out of the piece on the coil pack and get a decent tin of solder on it.   Put the spade in ign module wire first since it takes 10,000 pounds of pressure to slide it in, flux and tin the area that's to be soldered.

then stick them together MAKING SURE they're in the position they need to be in for the assembly to be put together.  I'm running a coil pack I broke about 10 years ago.
