shouldnt drive it.
a quick google search turned up; links below.....
not everyone agrees why, but msd seems to be fair about it. the links below show msd replacing some, and some ppl are saying to make sure you use a ballast resistor.

You need a new ignition coil. Don't bother trying to start it. It won't start until you replace the coil.
When installing your new coil make sure it is oriented correctly. The place where the coil wire goes in should be pointing up.

As mentioned,check into using a ballast resistor on the next coil if you aren't already doing so.It's purpose is to throttle the current back to prevent thermal runaway and explosions.
