Ignition Control Module
Will these Ignition Control Modules do anything for my crossfire or be the same as stock ?

Re: Ignition Control Module
if the rest of your ignition system and engine are otherwise stock, you won't notice a difference. grab a new ac delco unit and spend the extra cash elsewhere

Re: Ignition Control Module
I know most here hate accel but I have had their module,cap,plugs,wires and super coil for 13 years now with no problems.Is it faster,no more reliable? I would say yes in my case.

Re: Ignition Control Module
I ran the Accel cap, rotor, module, and coil after my initial module went up. The new module only lasted for a few years, after that I went back to all AC Delco stock. I was rather disappointed especially since my car isn't daily driven, heck it barely get's 1000 miles put on it a year. Recently though I have upgraded the coil again to a MSD Streetfire along with installing one of the MSD Streetfire ignition boxes (used the MSD harness to just plug right into stock harness, very nice), waiting on injectors to see just how well these two improve fuel economy and/or performance.

Re: Ignition Control Module
After now having the injectors installed, for well over a month, I think the only noticeable improvement has been starting and maybe a little bump in fuel economy. I must note though, I am now waiting on a new set of spark plug wires, because I now have static on my radio that I have narrowed down to the MSD box being the culprit. I even installed there inline filter, which helped, but I believe the final piece of the puzzle is replacing the stock wires with a good set of spiral or helically wound wires. I also want to note that when I ran the Accel ignition parts the car did seem to run better than stock, when they were working that is.

Re: Ignition Control Module
I've ran Accel modules in my old 83 CFI Z28, as well as one in my 86 currently, which I tried out a Speedway (Unilite) module as well. Never had ANY issues.
All were an improvement over the OEM units IMHO. Each time I did it when I upgraded the entire system, though- plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil.

Re: Ignition Control Module
Honestly I don't see a point to upgrading a module since the stock ones are typically variable dwell anyway. I haven't found ignition upgrades to be that fruitful anyway so unless you're going to put in a multi-spark system or improve high rpm reliability you should probably just save your money.
