Ignition coil quiestion/help !?

Since I assume that my disty gave up at 180025 km, no spark anymore, i'm considering on doing the HEI module and ignition upgrade/replacement...

Here the quiestion, I hope/assume that I can get an HEI module, as described in the FAQ, but I've got no idea on which ignition coil to take, since MSD is not for sale here, can anyone suggest any other (europe sold) car brand, from which I could take the ignition coil, or any data which is important, to know about the coil...

damn, I feel like no legs, since I can't drive my MX-3

I think you can search in a scrapyard for any coil looking like the one in the FAQ.

I haven´t done that yet but I plan to do it soon.
That is just my thoughts. I knows it sucks when our Mx3 cant move anymore...

You can use any NON balast external coil.

Accel pack is good.

@kiwi: sorry, but I don't understand quite the "NON balast" part

I only know, that some are with transistors and some are not....

old coil setups ran a balast resistor so for startup a full
12 volts to the coil.

Any coil will do,
