Couple years ago I put a full pack of MSD coils on it, and they ran amazing right off the bat, and great for about 3 years before I had a coil fail on me while I was camping.
Soooo many burnt up MSD ignition coils. We tried our best.
I went from sub 0.030" spark gaps to the stock above 0.040" spark gaps without getting spark blowout for 4 years now.
I replaced the OEM coil with an MSD ignition coil earlier this year after having similar misfiring issues. Haven’t had any issues since.
I’ve always had good luck with MSD coils. I’ve had them on MULTIPLE vehicles.
I have used the MSD ones before but they will fail much faster.
I purchased the MSD coil upgrade kit, swapped out the coil pack, new spark plugs / wires, fresh oil / filter. Fired her up and she purred like a kitten.
You can also spring for the MSD coil, about twice as much but the boots are attached better I think, where the OEM part might have the boots rip off or the springs get caught up.
I replaced the coil with a MSD high performance which was actually cheaper than any other brand, and had significantly better boots on it to keep the water problem from happening again. Haven’t had an issue in 2 years.
I got MSD Street Fire coils to replace mine and its been 4 months so far and they're running strong.
