Default would a msd 6A igniton work on a stock 90 civic dx?

got a 6200 series MSD 6A(base unit for all vehicles)

can it be used on my stock 90 civic?

will i have to change out he coil in the distributor or will the stock one work?

would it be worth my time putting it on?

only have a cold air intake.

I wouldn't go out of my way to buy one, but if you have it laying around, go for it. I installed on on my SOHC VTEC (in a 88 DX Hatch) back in the day... and it improved mileage and idle quality, as far as power... couldn't notice a difference. The stock ignition system is pretty damn good on a honda.

No reason to buy this although if you have it already I think it'll run with DPI.

You will see easier cold weather starts... But I guess you wouldn't be concerned with that (in CA. that is).
