To install an ignition coil on a 1986 Chevy Celebrity:
1. With the ignition off unplug the wire harness from the coil, also remove the coil to distributor wire.
2. Remove the bolts that hold the coil mounting bracket to the intake manifold.
3, The coil should now come off.
4. The new coil comes without the mounting bracket. Therefore you must cut the rivets loose that hold the old coil to the bracket. The new coil should come with screws and nuts to mount it to the old bracket. Mount the coil to the bracket.
5. Position the coil mount onto the intake manifold and bolt it down.
6. Plug the cables and distributor lead back into place.

It depends on what year it is. 74 and older have a bottle style coil mounted to the intake to the driver's side of the distributor. 75-86 have the coil mounted in top of the distributor cap (make sure you replace the coil with the correct coil. If it has a white wire, it must be replaced with a white wire coil. If it is a yellow wire, it must be replaced with a yellow wire coil). 87-95 uses a square coil mounted to the intake and has two wire conntectors and the coil wire. LT-1 motors use a crank trigger ignition system that has a different coil system altogether. I don't have information on this system.

You cant without replacing the coil. The 86 X2 coil did not have a rev limiter so if you want higher revs go for that. You could also fork out $400 and get a dales bad attitude ignition set up.
