The '96 coil should be used with the '96 ignition module.

But, the '96 ignition system was designed to be optimized as a matched set.
The stock '96 coil is a hotter coil (less primary impedence) than previous years.

I am using and have been using the MSD red perf coil for a year now WITHOUT the module with no problems. But now that it's been mentioned, I will have to look into it and see if I should just replace the module as well
