Subject: Coil recommendation?
IP: Logged

Message:
I have upgraded everything (?) on my ignition except the coil. I have the brass cap/rotor, MSD 8.5 wires and the MSD 6A. I switched to 3923s.

I was hoping to find a "bolt on" OEM type coil replacement. I looked at the huge Accel 14001. It does not appear to be a direct replacement. The mounting holes are spaced differently from the factory bracket.

Anyway.. does anyone have a recommendation for a good replacement coil? I would prefer one that will mount in the stock location as I have already installed the MSD and sized the wires.

Thanks

Bill

Accel Super Coil p/n 140021 (~$41) is direct bolt on. For '97 and up, you will need the adapter harness p/n 140021ah (~$28).

Thanks for the PN's.

Since I have already cut my factory wiring, will I need the Accel harness? I would like to save the $28.00!!

The Accel Super is a stock fit. This uses the factory plug. There are no posts and nuts to secure wire leads. It is almost exactly like the factory coil. The harness adapter is configured for '97 and up factory plugs can be used. The coil plug is for pre '97 factory plugs. That's as much as I know. It may not be a bad idea to use the MSD Blaster coil mounted near the wire leads or reconnect the factory plug to use the Accel Super coil. Good luck.

Dakaty,

I made a mistake. The Adapter harness for '98 and up. Sorry.
