Default Coil question

I am detecting a minor misfire underload. My injectors have been changed in the past I changed the pumps, plugs and wires just 2k miles ago. I am thinking I have a coil issue sense the coils seem to be original. my car is a 91 with 77k on the clock.

I was wondering what coil people go with my car is stock with the exception of headers and flowmaster exhaust

Don't use Accel, had two on the 91 I am working on short out and blow out a 20 amp fuse; I have had no issues with generics from Autozone or O Reillys

If you want to take a chance I will sell you 3 brand new in AC/Delco box for $60 including shipping.

FWIW, it's always been about 1/2 the price of the ZR-1 specific coil..... just like the one referenced in the link.

I would think long & hard before buying this coil for an LT5, especially since the seller does not state the GM PN in the auction.

I had an OEM coil die at less than 8000 miles so might want to rethink that one. I'm running MSDs.
