1990 Ford Thunderbird lx mileage: 73,000. I have heard that a good ignition coil will improve my engine's performance. I am sixteen and looking forward to becoming a car nut. I have no close relatives who are knowledgeable and I am wondering if what I heard is true about the high performance ignition coil? If it is in fact a way to improving my car, what kind should I buy and how hard or easy is it to install; what exactly does an ignition coil do? What other ways are there to up my little V-6's performance that are not too expensive?

High performance ignition coils are generally used on high performance engines. Putting a high performance coil on a stock engine would not be of any benefit. Keeping your car tuned-up properly will give you the best possible performance.
