After considering that the coil was 21 years old in my car anyhow i just went ahead and picked up the Accel 8140 for $30 from a local store. They actually didn't have the yellow one. And i didn't want to wait a day for it to be shipped. So i splurged the extra three bucks and got the 8140c which is chrome...

You all said it felt more crisp and haven't had any issues with it messing up the ignition system at all and it costs as much as a similar OEM type replacement anyhow. (Note: similar to oem type, i do not know the cost of a true Toyota OEM coil.)

It definitely does rev/run smoother than it did before and feels slightly beefier above 6k rpms. Though a coil that wasn't old enough to drink would probably feel better than what i had anyhow... worth every penny so far.

As stated before it was way easy to install. Just keep note of where everything goes in relation to it and that you don't mix up the positive and negative wires. I put a small piece of black electrical tape on the negative just in case i got them mixed up.

Thanks for the info everyone.
