Default MSD external coil conversion

My car hasnt been gettin spark. My D16Z6 i know its a wiring issue. Would an external coil fix the problem? I think theres a chance since you have to re-wire the set-up

If you don't get spark now, then you most likely won't get spark just by changing the coil (unless your internal coil is bad).

If you know it's a wiring issue then why not fix your wiring?
