easy performance?

[Baron Von Buick]

Are there any easy install performance parts for the 3.8 n/a? like a better spark plug, ingnition coil or anything that doesn't have the need to take apart the engine to install, because i really dont have the money to have somone do the work or even to buy expensive parts. but little parts here and there that i can install myself are not a prob. Thanks for any and all help.

MSD 6 ignition. ~$130, but an easy install. (I know, $130 isn't cheap)

Any advice on plugs, cap, rotor, wires, ignition coil?

Copper connections on the cap & rotor, Your coil is fine..hotter coils will run you around $85..for that you are almost at the MSD 6 and money better spent.

Even though the coil is 20 years old? Nothing on this car has been changed since its been bought in 84! so far i have changed the hoses, radiator, fuel filter and valve cover gaskets, next is a tune up and belts. OH, one other thing every once in a while the service/check engine soon light comes on but goes away a few mins after i drive, it only seems to come on when the car is first stared and is warming or when the car is in park (after it is warm)
Any ideas?

Thanks again all
