I got an Accel Supercoil, the generic one for electronic ignition, and it
has worked very well. I think it was only $18 as well.
Congrats on the brief run!
Just to confirm... you do have the correct model of plugs, right? =)

Subject: [DMCForum] HA!!! Crag make fire!!!
Today, I dropped to my knees and thanked God for helping me start my
car.
Well sort of...
After soaking for 2 days in Marvel Mystery Oil my compression shot up
to 150 psi. (For those who care, the specs are 114-156 psi, engine
HOT, throttle wide open) Previously, it was 100-120 psi, but that's
engine cold because the thing wouldn't start.
At any rate, with fuel disconnected, and Marvel in the chamber, I gave
it a shot of ether. It fired, struggled, then ran -briefly- (10-15
seconds) on ether. The timing appeared correct, I didn't have time for
the timing light but the engine chugged along without "fighting" itself.
After that, the plugs fouled with Marvel and the starter wouldn't
crank it fast enough. Battery's charging.
I suspect my problems are two-fold. Low compression due to slow
cranking, and weak spark. I'm going to replace the coil, wires and
plugs with something hotter...18-20,000 volts, Bosch +4's and some
good wires.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
