Easy as pie, one of these... http://www.msdignition.com/products/...ompact_import/

One of these... http://www.msdignition.com/products/coils/

One of these... http://www.msdignition.com/Products/...l_Bracket.aspx

A spark plug wire set, rotor and ballast and your done, very little wiring.
Check you local MSD dealer, they can probably put together a complete kit of all the pieces you need. 94

that still may not fix your problem. Ignitors and the ckp/cyp also go bad...just as often as the coils....its important to find your problem first or you may be fixing something that isnt broke

All you need is the distributor cap, not the whole distributor.

I have seen guys mod the stock cap so they can use an external coil but it has never worked very well, or for long.94
