The coil number is stamped into the bottom of the metal coil case. The black plastic part apparently has its own number (in the 1-nnn series).

You will have to take the coil out and invert it, or play with a mirror. The coil from the '88 ('85-'88) should end with 345, as opposed to the '89 up 364.

In my experience, coils are practically bullet-proof. What else have you "eliminated"? O2 sensor checked for proper voltage and switching rate? Fuel pressure (gauge reading) and faulty Engine Coolant Temperature also come to mind.

Look some hints in the FAQ, since your B230 and Ignition CU is the same as most 700s of that vintage and later (but strangely, the coil on your '91 is different—a 351, even though the ICUs are the same.)
