March 21, 200719 yr 81 dl I'm looking to upgrade my coil, I'm having a slight hesitation problem and a miss with good compression fresh wires and cap and rotor, Could be my rockers need adjustment? but I'm thinking upgrading my coil... I work at a CSK Speed Shop, AKA Fancy Shucks... My options are 1. Accel (leaning that way.) 2. Mallory, Expensive (but Proprietary?) 3. MSD Along with that I'm gonna upgrade my wires as well with matching wires. I'm thinking About doing the Fuel injection conversion at some time in the near future so I'm thinking about something that would be compatible upgrades. Also I need to find a Rear brake adjuster that works so I can actually have decent brakes. Anyhow thanks in advance for your help
March 21, 200719 yr I for one am partial to msd.I have run the msd blaster coil before and now I have the msd blaster ss coil.Both very good coils.
March 21, 200719 yr If you are leaning toward the accel, do a search on them here before you spend the $$
March 21, 200719 yr 1 vote to avoid Accel - I had bad luck with both the coil and the wires. The coil died completely in about 6 months, and the wires kept burning out. I'm back to OEM coil and NGK wires.
March 21, 200719 yr Before spending money on a coil I would check my distributor shaft/bushings for play. Then put a vacuum guage on it and see if that tells you anything.
March 22, 200719 yr How do you install a performance coil on there, electrically? I hear you have to use resistors and stuff?
March 22, 200719 yr I have fine luck with my Accel. I think you have to make sure you get the ones made state-side, not in mexico, or wherever. but i've MSD is good shtuff; go witht that!
March 22, 200719 yr How do you install a performance coil on there, electrically? I hear you have to use resistors and stuff? There is no such thing,Strictly for the suckers.
March 22, 200719 yr Dain']I have fine luck with my Accel. ... Me Too! ... I Has the 8140 High Vibrations Coil' date=' the one that hasn´t Oil, just Epoxi inside... I has it installed in my EA82 since the 90´s, and it Works Very Fine! Just Plug & Play![/color'] See: http://go.mrgasket.com/ProductDetails.aspx?brandId=3&productID=8053968&majID=545&minID=5456&selection=&minselection=4

March 23, 200719 yr I had a Mallory Promaster on the Brat.. Worked great for a Ebay cheapy, but never done anything extra in the way of ponies. It was the model just before they went to internal resistors, forgot what number it was though....
March 23, 200719 yr Key phrase - since the 90s The ones made in the past few years are crap - verifiably crap. Yes, it´s True! ... I Asked a Friend who had Problems with his Accel Coil, he said the one he Purchased, said "Made in Mexico" ... Not like Mine... and it Exploded in the Firts Week... Damagin´ pait and hoses on the Engine´s Bay of his Nissan Almera...

Not like Mine... and it Exploded in the Firts Week... Damagin´ pait and hoses on the Engine´s Bay of his Nissan Almera... Yup. Not an uncommon tale. I think mine lasted a whole 10 months. Blew up 70 miles from home while out camping in the middle of nowhere with my wife and kid. Thankfully, a friend whom I met through this board when I moved to TX was kind enough to come down there at midnight with another coil.
