It's a coil.  It delivers spark to the sparkplugs. A Hotter coil means one that collects more amp.  This allows it to produce a larger spark.  But to utilize the spark you need to increase the spark plug gap some.  Stock is .035".  Depending on your coil and plug wires you can go wider.

I've had a few different setups and now settled on the Performance Distributors setup.  My gap is now.065".

Are there any specific plugs you should use with the Performance Distribtor setup?  Can I use the E3's I'm running now?
