Would the Coils from a 96 supercharged bonneville bolt right up on my car? I can get a pack of three from gmpartsdirect for $44 and I want to replace mine.

yes they would but the 97-99 L67 coils have a hotter spark than the previous models

Actually gmpartsdirect list it as 96-99. Since I can I think I will order them instead of MSDs they are cheaper and probably more reliable.

Are you sure it'* a pack of three for $44?

No, that'* the price for each, and they're the same coils you have on your car. After you pay shipping, they're more than the MSD'* at Jegs, and MSD'* are hotter than 97-03 stock coils. You're not likely to be able to tell much a difference, other than a slightly smoother idle and mild increase in the midrange (most can't feel it). Under 5hp for sure, maybe only 2-3 on a non-supercharged car.

If your coils are good, I wouldn't suggest the $120 for MSD'*.

What'* with the 3 in the description then? Is it indicating 3 are needed? Don't MSDs have reliability issues? I am looking to replace mine because I believe mine are starting to go a little bit.
EDIT: Also it is a different part number than my stock coils. They're for the supercharged models.

That description will always be misleading. So is their 96+ listing for the L67 coils.

MSD'* do NOT have reliability issues. Almost 3 years and going strong on my 93.

If you doubt your coils, measure them. Procedure is in Techinfo. Report your primary and secondary resistances here for each of your 3 coils.

Ok, I thought I had read something about them giving out in about 2 years time...maybe that was accel?

Accel comes out of the box looking yellow. They get worse from there real quick. I've seen two sets fail within 30 days (not on my cars).

I went back and looked at the thread I was thinking of and saw that for some reason yours were just acting strange. So I will test mine and see what happens.
