Are you just getting a coil, or also a better ignition module or box?

I'd suggest the Blaster 2 or the Blaster SS. That way you can leave your original coil in the car as a spare. (Yes, both those coils will wire up to our harnesses.)

My Orignal Coil is dead...

Should I just pop that one out, and replace it with a GM Blaster?

I have the Accel external coil and I've noticed a huge difference. I feel more kick out of my car after I put that in with a new distributor. I'd suggest if you have an old distributor to change it while you change the coil as well. Most likely if you don't the distributor will wear out faster and you'll have to replace it anyways.
