Well, I pushed the coil down manually, then measured it in relation to the other 2 coils that were not rubbing. (It's about .007" lower) Then used epoxy, put it behind the coil and clamped it back in place until the epoxy set up. Waited a day and then started the engine. Everything seems to run ok and the engine now drops back to idle smoothly since the tar has been removed from around that area. But truthfully it worried me a little, so I ordered this

from eBay. They had it on a 12 hour sale, so I actually got it for $79 + shipping. According to the UPS shipping tracker I should have it by this Friday, so I can put in in over the weekend and keep the repaired one as a backup.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
