It's easy and a PITA at the same time. You must6 remove the distributor and disassemble ti to get at the old pick up coil (and to install the new one). It isn't hard, but time consuming and you need to carefully mark where the distributor is pointing before yanking it out (also replace the O ring!!).

No problem. I have been there before! I limped home about 20 miles once when an ignition module went south on me. I could drive it for a few miles before it overheated and stalled......after a few minutes it cooled off enough to drive another few miles, etc.
As for the coil......if you have a stock engine I would just get a stock coil. I have had bad luck with the Accel stock looking coil (not the Super Coil), but have heard good things about the MSD blaster.
For now you are probabaly better off getting a stock replacement.
BTW.....(and this is for anyone who reads this) it is a good idea to carry a spare ignition coil and ignition module with you......especially on long trips. It can be a lifesaver if one poops out in the middle of nowhere!
