accell coil gone bad

Featured Replies

Well, there's another "new" one in the '84 Auto BRAT you got from me.

 

Of course, it's one of the smooth-top ones, and those are the ones that go bad. You want one that the top is crimped-on, not rolled-on. But with that said, if it's "mail-ordered", you don't know 'til you get it. That's why I re-mounted the one in the '84 so it points up instead of laying on it's side. That way, it "possibly" won't loose it's oil, which is the major cause of them failing.

I've had mine for almost a year now.. works just fine.. I carry the original coil in the car now as a spare because of all the failures ive heard of.. but just like archemtis said..

 

 

Everything breaks.. dont get too worked up over it.

I've put about 30k miles on mine, and the only thing that stopped it was the body of my car rusting out (R.I.P. the Rustbucket)
