I installed some used 8.5 MSD superconductors replacing my accel 8.8's
I also got rid of the accel supercoil and went with a stocker. the engine seems to be happier in the high revs now.
The accels have been good to me though, I'm currently running them in my 85 now.

I just pulled all my MSD wires, two of them were falling off the plugs and it was not a happy situation... I bought some dirt cheap ones at the local auto parts store and haven't had a problem since...
