I think what Ron is getting at is that this has been discussed many times several years ago and by searching the archives you will find you are not the first. And now you will become part of the archive.

As you search, you may also find the MSD Blaster coil is the better replacement, depending upon your model year and ignition system. Many smarter than I have opined on the topic. Anyway, it's what I used in my '82 and it has worked fine.

If you do go the MSD route, be advised the coil takes an 8MM wire and your cap takes a 7MM wire. The smaller wire will arc in the coil and ruin it. Fab up a wire with different plugs on each end.

Good luck. This board is a great resource.
