Some of the accel coils make noise, and according to them its completely normal and you have to live with it if yours makes noise. I have one that is noisy and one not. Just a heads up, in case you are planning on mounting it close to the passenger compartment you will hear it buzzing away.
I like my MSD coil.

Hey the guys with the MSD coils, does it make a loud buzzing noise? I installed them on each of my two cousins mustang gt's and both made that annoying noise.

If you are talking about HEI coil, I'd go with the Accel. If I misunderstood, I apologize.
Otherwise, they are all about the same price, and I'd go with a brand that has a slightly better repuation, like MSD or maybe even Crane.
I have a Accel HEI Supercoil and have had no trouble what-so-ever. I'd buy it again, no problem.

I had an Accel "computerized remote HEI" supercoil; no problems (other than mounting the damn thing). Then I shelved it, and went with an MSD Blaster SS coil, simply because I bought an MSD 6AL box. Neither coil buzzed (at least to my ears)!
