As long as the starter works itll crank. The coil just generates a reference for the ign. module.

i was reading somewhere that 3rd gens have a history of bad pick up coils in the distributor, is this true ?

More or less the ignition module likes to fail when hot, from what I have noticed. Also more or less with V-8's.
But a part is a part and prone to failure all the same.
