Default Coils

I should clarify, ensure the coil suits the polarity of the vehicle, there are both Negative Earth and Positive Earth coils, then ensure they are wired correctly. As has been said, the wiring reversed will reduce the output of the spark and not only that but the spark is reversed, this can cause problems in the distributor cap too.
Firstly I would go for the condenser, they fail more regularly than coils.

regards, Richard
