The coil is fine you just need a timing light , remove spout , advance timing to 12 btdc , replace the spout take it for a ride , if you hear any pinging then you went to far , 12-14 is about the norm , you just got to play with it ,,,,Lew

The stock components will handle the advanced timing if they are in good shape. Many of the caps, rotors, and wires sold by discount stores may not be as good as OEM. I would suggest spiral core wires and brand name cap and rotor with brass contacts. Increasing the plug gap can help when advancing the timing too.

Here is an excelent walkthrough.

The first have talks about replacing ignition components. But if you skip down, it shows how to set timing, complete with pics.
