What I am getting at and I don't mean any indifference to our host, could/would a non-Bosch coil work in these cars. It seems quite absurd that a coil which is nothing more than a very large capacitor, would cost over $250. I recently had a 6 yrs old coil fail on me. The replacement I put in, I had it as a spare since 2008, cost all of $50 and it's a Bosch (bag it came in said "Wells Electronic") I looked that coil up and that $50 coil now cost $191 !!!!!

Can one use a MSD coil that has a max voltage output of 45,000 volts? Advance auto has one for $45.
