its time to replace my ignition system, and i'm just wondering what kind of aftermarket coil should I go with? its a remote mounted style...does MSD or somebody make a good replacement? and if so, show me the link to it so i can get it ordered ASAP...thanks

 

I know there is people out there running aftermarket coils...can anybody give me a recommendation on one..

 

Yes MSD makes one that is a direct fit. I believe Accel does too. I expect there are many others too like chepos from Nehof and the like. Don't expect any gain in performance or milleage tho. Stock set up is good enough untill you start getting radical with your powerplant.

 

yea i'm kinda built up, but it has been kinda acting up lately, so i figured i'd replace it with an aftermarket one while I have the excuss too..

will any of those work fine?

 

The MSD has the best price and has been making this stuff longer than the other two. I'd grab that one.

 

And the folks at Thunder are good. Dealt with them a few times. Smooth as butter.

 

okay i'll get that one..thanks

 

While I am typically a proponent for MSD in many instances, I've gone through four MSD coils over the past few years on my own cars. One in a vette, two on 3rd gen F-bods and one in the Cobra. While I typically shun Accel, the supercoil I bought over a decade ago is still going strong. I'm of two minds on both, but if I had to but one today, it likely wouldn't be an MSD unit... not too sure if it would be a supercoil again either. I'd probably try a different vendor next time. :shrug:

 

I am a standard MSD fan. Love the coil I have on the Trans Am. Been good to me.

 

I also like MSD as a rule, but I've had 2 of their coils fail on my in under 2 years each. One about 5 years ago on a truck-rod I had, and the other one yesterday in my 'Bird. Left me stranded for a while before I figured out the coil was the problem.....
