RE: accel coils??
Accels are pretty good for the price but I also heard that they are very annoying. I forget who I was talking to about it but you have to measure something everytime you change spark plugs and if you don't do it correctly it will break. MSD's are better, hands down, but the real question is weather they are worth the extra 200 or so bucks. To me, they are.

I was running Accels but I switched to MSD's.

I have always read/heard that the stock ignition systems are already very good...

Did either set really make any difference?

ive always thought the coils are really pricey... but i found accel coils are a decent price right around 200. are they much worse than like the msd's or are you just paying for the name? i have friends with accel parts and they work good. accel doesnt give a solid spark amount for their coil, does it give much less than msd's 40,000 volts?
