Safe to change stock coil? 200 1979

Hi everyone,

The ignition coil on my 1979 245DL is about to go out, and I need a replacement. I'm trying to decide between a Bosch stock coil (about $40), an MSD Blaster 2 (about $30), or a Summit stock coil (about $20). My interests here are reliability--I'm not looking for a performance upgrade. I don't want to destroy my ignition system, and from some of the posts I've seen here, there is a danger of that when changing the coil away from stock. Any thoughts? Is it worth the extra $10/$20 for a Bosch coil? Many thanks!

A Newbie
