Is a coil usable between different engines?18Rc->18Rgeu

Hey, i had my coil and dizzy lead give up the ghost tonite and need a new replacement coil & lead. This was pretty annoying as i need to buy a new coil & all leads for the 18RGeu in the next few weeks but now i need one just to keep the 18Rc running.. What a Hassle! Firstly:
Is there any coil that i can buy which will run in the 18R-c with points dizzy for a couple more weeks, then be used in the 18R-Geu which has standard elec. dizzy and efi? I have been told to get a 22R-e coil and ignitor for the new setup(18RG), but now i need one just to get the ra28 around and dont wana buy a coil that i'l be ditching soon when the car goes off the road. Are they multi-purposed? or is there a model which can be used in carby AND efi setups, etc.? or do they differ in signals or charges or anything which would hinder their use with the differing types of dizzys etc?
The RAA dude said it doesnt matter and "..a coil is just a coil.." but i dont trust an old dude even if he did get my car running again to get it home, i hadnt given him much info on what i had planned with the motor swap.
Anyone who could offer any help or advice on parts would be greatly appreciated!! its just i need a good coil for the efi RG but i need to get the 18Rc running again if it was possible at all without buying 2 separate coils? if not i guess i'll have to get it towed around haha which would suck seeing it has a beauty of a single-cam 2 litre under the hood.
Thanks again
Guy
