Jeff-

I have a MGB.  When I was in need of a coil, I asked my local LBC 
mechanic what to buy.  His response was to buy a coil thru my local NAPA 
store.  Turns out that coils are pretty generic, with the exception of 
the hi-performance coils that have higher output.  Unless your car has a 
high performance ignition, wires, etc., a high output won't do anything 
except cost more.  He runs stock replacement coils in his TVR's, 
Triumphs, and MG's.  Mines been in place and working just fine for three 
years.
