Yes, a higher output coil will help,stock coil is around 12k volts, Blue coil is around 18k volts. Red coil is around 25k volts. 18k is fine on stock engine, higher means the plug wires must be very good.
Make sure the #1 plug has the right angle end, not the straight end like the others or it will arc to the alternator
ANY higher output coil will work, just don't go crazy with high voltage, as plug wires then become weak link.
Follow instructions for petronix or other brand points replacement as to the resistance of coil, and do NOT let car sit with ignition on and engine not running, this is most common reason for failure.
Good luck, RGS in Pittsburgh, Pa. USA
