Default m.s.d coils
how many people are running or ran the m.s.d coil meant for our cars before ? i had 1 in my car for 2 months now and it took a crap on me today , wonderin if i should get another one or run my stock coil instead . or is it just a fluke thing or a known bad coil

Similar circumstance, but the replacement MSD has been ok for about 10 years.
