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

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

 

I have a MSD ignition coil #8225, MSD sparkplug wires, MSD cap and rotor already installed.

 

what's done to the engine? tuning? what are you revving to?

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

the motor is a stock 305 CFI

 

After the issues I kept having with Accel ICM's, I stay with stock now. I have aftermarket everything else, but I will never go with an aftermarket module again if I can help it.

 

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.

 

I tried a couple 'performance' modules left me stranded- use oem.

 

A common mistake people make when switching out modules- OEM or otherwise, is to not use enough or any of the grease on the bottom side of the module. This helps with heat transfer, and prevents cooking the module.

 

I recommend this stuff from radio shack

Pros

• Consistent Performance
• Prevent breakdown

Cons

• No problem

Best Uses

• Ignition modules

Comments about RadioShack Heat Sink Grease (6g):
good for ignition modules on cars to prevent burning out of new part.

• Primary use:
• Personal

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

 

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.
