HELP! Need used coil pack!

Yesterday when I was driving down the freeway (4:30 in the morning on my way to Tahoe) with cruise control set about 75 my check engine light started flashing all crazy on me. So I turned down the radio, turned off cruise control, pressed the gas pedal and my car was sputtering like no other. Pulled over pop the hood and look on the side of the engine and notice that one of my coils had fallen off the spark plug! When I went to put it back on I noticed that the bolt that holds it on was gone.
I managed to duct tape it on the it ran fine once I did that. Made it to my friends and took his car from there.

I was wondering if anyone had an old used coil laying around that they will give me or sell me. It doesn't have to work all I need is the bolt from it. I really don't want to have to buy a coil pack for like 100 bucks or whatever they go for just because i need the bolt.


Let me know what you got.
Thanks
Mike

No way! Sick man thanks! I will try to either get a ride up there or limp my car up there.
Thanks a lot though!
Hopefully see you tomorrow!
