That coil will work, but it is a decent amount smaller in diameter. You will have to add some rubber bushing of make an adapter to get the standard bracket to tighten up and hold the coil, and still mount to the position.
I don't have any evidence, but my car was running great, but before I left on my 5,500 mile 15 day journey I replaced the working coil with a MSD Blaster High Vibration coil and a few weeks after getting home my DME started having issues. I sent it in to Steve Wong and he checked it out and sent back this:
You had a failed ignition circuit and part of your problem was due to an out of spec capacitor that just ages out with heat and time, so that has been replaced with a new Japanese made Nichicon high temp capacitor which is the highest grade and temp rated capacitor available. I might suggest to ohm and check the resistance of your coil primary and secondary to make sure they are in spec, just in case so it’s not a contributor or stressing out the ignition circuit in the DME.
As I said, I can't say for sure it was the MSD Blaster, but I found a used 30 year old Bosch black OME coil.
