advance auto and autozone carry them for like 50 or 60, and ignition modules for about 100 if I remember right. I got the whole mess a while back for no more than maybe $180 US. Worked great, the new module cleared up a ton of problems I was having.

Advanced Auto has modules for $85. Some say GM ones last longer but who knows. Mine has about 4000 miles on it so far

Accel GM Magnavox DIS super coil #140016. I got one from Racetronix for about the same price of a replace stock coil pack (I think its around $80-90). Why get the same coil pack when there is something better for the same price?

Specification................... Tested with the OE Buick coil pack
Primary resistance..........0.7 ohms
Secondary resistance.....12.3K ohms
Turns ratio......................86:1
Maximum voltage............42,000 volts
Peak increase in Energy vs. OE......10%
Peak increase in Voltage vs. OE......9%
Peak increase in Arc duration vs. OE.......6%
Peak increase in Current vs. OE......8%

I used the accell and have had no problems. I have it connected to a GM module. So far all has worked flawless.
