Odds would be against it -- coils rarely fail, even though many get 
replaced -- sorta like F**d starter solenoids that start clicking a lot 
like a buzzer when the battery is dead, instead of fixing the charging 
system problem, they replace a perfectly good working solenoid.  A coil 
is one of the most reliable electrical componenets in any older vehicle  
(can't say the same thing about newer multi-pack coils)regular oil 
filled ones perhaps slightly less reliable than epoxy ones, if there is 
any evidence of an oil leak.

If ya just gotta replace something, try putting in that spare set of 
points & cond already mounted to a distributor plate that you carry in 
the glovebox because you have an Ignitor and may want to get home some 
dark & rainy night.
