You are using the MSD CDI box like the 6AL box, correct?
If you did that then you can actually open the plug gap a bit more from 0.8mm to 1.0mm possibly even more. This is a decent option and a safe one for replacing a bad stock coil with something aftermarket.

I also figured a 33 year old DME might not be running optimally and for the price of a rebuild I could buy two streetfires and a coil (did) and have a spare in the frunk I'll never use.
No more coil dilemma's.
