Bent ignition coil/spring.

I was replacing my distributor rotor today and noticed that the coil was bent a bit - huge pic attached.

Do I need to replace the entire thing ? Am I okay to drive it around until I do?

Thanks

Needle nose pliers. Bend it back.

Yeah, that's what I did. I was just worried about the exact shape. If it's a bit off in shape - would it create any problems?
