Re: MSD OR ACCEL ??
Alot of people seem to have a lot of problems with aftermarket coils. Although I've never tried any of them. I stick with Delco.

Re: MSD OR ACCEL ??
... but then I put in a few commas and whala... so you are running all Accel simply because you got a good deal on it... right?
Re: MSD OR ACCEL ??
Funny... I've got an Accel coil on my car, and a MSD coil in a box for a future project, it's my honest opinion that neither one actually does anything the stock coil doesn't already do. Don't waste your money.

Re: MSD OR ACCEL ??
Beware that though voltage means alot everybody forgets that the amperage is important when comparing also. I have seen many aftermarket coils have half the amperage and only 5-8,000 more volts.
It is cheaper to make them this way and no actual performance gain.
Don't get me wrong the voltage is more important but half is a huge drop for amperage.
That said I have never actually had an acell or msd coil checked but lean towards MSD as I have seen some data on the acell's.

Re: MSD OR ACCEL ??
Keep in mind that when I first started working on my Camaro six years ago I had never heard of TGO
and thus deprived of their knowledgeable members. So I winged it a little and bought what I thought was appropriate for the car at the time. Including ignition components. I went with Accel parts including the ignition module, coil, cap and rotor, and went with super stock wires and autolite platinum plugs. I have no complaints and they have served me well for the last six years. MSD has a better reputation then Accel so at that time I "would" have gone all MSD.
