Default what kind of coil?

My car wont start and has a problem somewhere in the ignition so I wanted to start with the coil first because it's the cheapest to replace. I've already been through two MSD coils..what else are my options??

I agree you probably have some sort of problem but try D.U.I Ignitions. There stuff works plain and simple. Low prices and you will feel a difference. Have on a couple of my vehicles. Put on my tow Suburban and it now idles smoother than my wifes Benz. NO BS I grind the starter all the time.

I used there all in 1 HEI but their other set ups are just as good. Hardest part of install is getting plug gaps as large as they recommend and keep electrode parallel.

Sometimes the ignition box will go bad...It happened when I had an Accel ignition...Bypass your MSD box and see if it starts...
