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.

pesonally if you have one or moreweak coils i think these are an excellent alternative to buying replacements from Ford, especially since one will run you around 80 bucks. the only "issue" i've had is the little Accel sticker falls off after a week

Well, I got 'em in along with a set of Champion #3401 (single platinum) plugs--added like 37.7 HP before I even started the motor...[/align][/align]But seriously folks, they do look pretty and we are all entitled to an occasional irrational self-indulgence. [/align][/align]BTW, I had no fitment issues of any sort, their dimensions are identical to those of the OEM units.[/align]

Did either set really make any difference?
I have always read/heard that the stock ignition systems are already very good...

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

the stock coils go bad very often, at my dads shop we replace at least one a week. they are about 75 bux from ford so you see why aftermarket is so tempting.
+1 I was led to understand that the stock parts were good also.

Arey'all still happy with these Accel coils? I was looking for some feedback, before I bought them.
Thanks.
