Ignition coils do not last forever!! I have found that even when a car 
starts right up and seems to run fine the coil can break down under 
high loads such as high RPM's. Since most owner's coils are over 20 
years old it is no surprise to me that replacing a coil can make the 
car run better even if it seems to run fine now. Just don't use an 
N.O.S. coil as it too would be over 20 years old, it just was sitting 
on a shelf. Same goes for the ignition wires, cap, rotor, and spark 
plugs as electric will jump at the weakest link. Sticking in a hot new 
coil can cause other weak areas to appear.
