When I replaced the distributor, the new one did not come with a new coil. I reused the old one. Although it’s been working fine, I wasn’t happy that it still was using the old coil. I bought a replacement and installed it. Not too tough of a job, but it’s good to have new parts in there.
I also replaced the generic terminal on the end of the distributor power wire with the correct terminal and shroud. Now it plugs in just as intended.
