No, there are a zillion MSD coils mounted that way. The fact that it is dying on you regularly will actually help you. Put a can of starter spray in your trunk and, like Trularin said, when it dies, quickly try and start it with a couple of spritzes down the carb. If it doesn't start, pull the wire to plug #8 and hold it while you crank the ignition key (you can easily reach both). I'm betting you won't get any shock and, if I'm wrong, it won't hurt that much anyway. Doing those two things will get you closer to the final answer.
