Ignition Coil

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

Coils are notorious for testing bad when they are fine, and bad when they work 
fine...  8-(  But, if the KVs test okay with the car running, and you are not 
having any drivability problems, I would stay with the unit you mentioned...  
You may or may not have any trouble with the aftermarket coil, but as it is 
electrical, I would be less likely to use it on my own car over a stock 
unit...
