anyone know the accel superstock part #?

 

i heard its a universal one.. if so.. which one is it?

 

anyone using a high output coil?

I'm running the 8140 Universal Accel Super Stock. It's rated to run on a 472 cubic inch cadillac engine so I think it puts out plenty of power for our little buggers One of the things I swiped for the Subaru before selling my hot rod

 

I dunno why youd get one off ebay. They are cheap and should be instock at any reputable parts store.

the 8140C is a chrome one, 5 bucks more exspensive

8140 is a yellow coil...

 

Both are send 42,000 volt to the disty

and your stock subaru one sends 30,000 volts

#8140 is Accel's "universal" coil so pretty much everyone sells that part. I bought mine from AutoZone straight off the shelf for $29.99 (they are available for $27.50 at Summit Racing (part#ACC-8140)).

 

The coil is just a little bit smaller diameter than the stock coil but very close and is the identical shape. My stock bracket didn't want to hold it quite as tight as the stock coil but it holds it tight enough.

 

FYI, the 8140C is the "chrome" version (the standard model is yellow).

I just purchased one of these coils and installed it yesterday (I paid too much, but when you need it, you need it!).

My stock coil was waaay out of spec...............The Accel unit bolts in with no modification, other than having to tighten down the clamp screw to get a decent grip on the coil.

 

No HP gain to speak of, but Definately a BIG gain on the low-end rpm response..........seems to have better torque and smoother acceleration.

 

After installing one of these; is it necessary to re-gap the spark plugs? If so, what to?

Most people regap to .048-.050 after installing the Accell(stock is .044)

I noticed top end gain in acceleration with the accel in my 86

 

just my 2 cents

Torxx, did you re-gap your plugs after installing the accel coil? If so, what did you gap yours to?

Maybe that's why I didn't notice a "top-end" gain with mine.......I haven't re-gapped my plugs yet......they are still at .044"

I gapped mine at .5

 

and then richen'd my mixture just a tad

What about for a 1981 Subaru DL 1800 5 speed? I thought they were supposed to be gapped at 35.

 

I bought an accel coil and am thinking of installing it. Should I regap my spark plugs? If I do this, how can I get an increase in power but no increase in gas mileage?

 

If the car burns the fuel more completely, doesn't that translate into better MPG?

thanks.

I was also lookin into this and heres what i found out..

 

theres also a 8140HV that will work, specs:

 

Primary Resist: 0.6 ohms

Secondary Resist: 9.5K ohms

Turn Ratio: 123:1

Maximum Voltage: 45,000k volts

 

As far as the 8140C and 8140 their specs are:

 

Primary Resist: 1.2 ohms

Secondary Resist: 8.9k ohms

Turn Ratio: 100:1

Maximum Voltage: 42,000k volts

 

Now I'm confused on which one to go with... any suggestions?
