So Paul, just trying to connect the dots. These RX-8 type coils
 are the best
 choice for my 13b regardless of the system I end up using for
 ignition?
 Not wanting to spend any more money on necessary stuff.

 Based on the info I have so far I think so.
 Advanced Auto Parts in your neck of the woods have them
 for $21 each which  is pretty cheap.

 Everyone...

 Just in case anyone wants these coils (as Paul mentioned, they
 are the same part number that Mazda sells for about $50) and
 can't get them where they live (Advance Auto requires them to be
 picked up at their stores...they won't ship them, even though
 their webpage says the order is available for free shipping when
 you choose those items, the shopping cart says that these items
 need to be delivered to a local store for pickup...that's the
 policy here in the Rochester area, but it may be different where
 you are ) I would be willing to see if I can get some here for
 you and can ship them to you, as I did to Paul.

 BTW, if you DO have an Advance Auto Parts in your area, and if
 the website does report that they don't have any of these coils
 available at the store for pickup, call the store, and talk to
 the manager ...he can order them for you directly from the
 manufacturer's warehouse instead of Advance Auto Parts warehouse
 (I originally talked to one of the clerks, but he was not aware
 that they could do this).

 So again, Advance Auto Parts website is www.advanceautoparts.com
 and the price of each coil is $24.79 if it hasn't changed.  The
 delivery to the store has been free, and was within 24 hours
 (Zach, the manager at my local store, said that they are only
 costing him $21, so he's making about $4 on each one), so I could
 probably get them out to you in just a couple of days after I
 receive your payment.  Just let me know where you want them
 shipped to, and I'll add shipping for Fedex Ground (lower cost
 than Parcel post in most cases).  And, unlike Paul, I'll take
 Paypal! And I certainly wouldn't refuse a tip!

 I can't guarantee that I can still get them, but I'll try, if you
 ask nicely. And as long as Advance is willing to keep getting
 them for me! But, please...try the website and/or your local
 Advance Auto Parts first. They just might change their policy if
 they see a number of orders for these.

 If I hear of any change, I'll let you all know.

 They are IDENTICAL to Mazda coils.

The coils are available through rockauto.com (online only).  I've had
pretty good luck working with them.  They are also available from
oreillyauto.com in a similar way as from advance auto.

Higher price. About 40 bucks.

True, but you might not have to pay the extra leg of shipping, so it
may be a wash.
