New coil
I am looking at replacing the ignition coil on my 351M ('79) but I wanted some input from those with aftermarket replacements.
I don't have alot of money to buy an aftermarket distributor with the new coil but I was wondering if I could get just the coil and still take advantage of the best spark gap associated with a complete ignition upgrade?
Right now I have a stock ignition setup with the exception of using "high performance" wires and platnium spark plugs. I think they are 8mm Bousch wires.
Thanks!

unless you made any changes in your carburation a stock coil should be fine.
it still don't hurt to to ugrade to even a stock replacement one from like MSD or Accel for about 35$ they are 10-15K volts more than original. which would help some on milage and start up.
