    an ignition coil is a device that converts the 12 V power from the battery to 12000 volt to feed the spark plugs which ignite the air and fuel in the engine !

    Accel coil is just a type of ignition coil !

    hope this helps !

    Sorry if I had a little trouble sensing the sarcasm, but mine was meant to be funny too, so......

    changed the ignition coil still chugs

    still chugs in 3rd gear, can't bring it past 4k rpm it does the same thing in 4th gear, never tried 5th not enough road to bring it past 4k rpms , could it be rev limiter?

    I agree, I would move on to the plugs, wires, rotor, and distributor cap. You aren't getting enough spark. If I had to take a 1 stop fix on this, I would get the distributor cap and rotor at this juncture.

    well,
    apparently it is eather your timming is way off,i mean way off.
    or you need a good tune up.
    check your timming. you can rent the light at the autozone for free.
    get NGK spark plugs and wires. new cap and rotor.
    i can push mine in 3 gear to 6000rpm/ 90mph. no problem.
    you should be able to do the same thing.
    Alex.

    I had already changed the spark plug wires (ngk) and plugs (ngk) changed the distributor cap and the cap rotor, also changed the ignition coil just yesterday, still can't get it past 4k rpm in 3rd gear I think I'll get the carbeurator checked, oh and the car still has a hard time starting from cold, I gotta press the gas pedal once then turn the key then hold the gas down for a while or the engine will die from cold start, but yah the car still can't go past 4k rpms in 3rd or 4th.

    Don't expect big power increases when you put one on, it does help some in throttle response and starting up, but you'll really see a difference if you combine it with other engine modifications.

    Performance Coil??

    So if I wanted to get more spark, I can get JUST the coil? Or do I need other stuff? I noticed you can get an amplifier.... can I get JUST that or do I need something to go with it. I see alot of you guys have aftermarkey coils and I was wondering if is worth it, and how I should go about getting one.........

    I figure if I'm dumping more air/fuel into the motor with my weber, I should give er' some more spark......... make sense?

    well,
    i have the accel coil. I got mine from Pepboys. If i remember right it was like $30 plus tax.
    I know if you want MSD one you may want to putt out a little more.
    it would be nice to get MSD amp, but try with out it first. sometimes it is enough.
    i would recomend get colder spark plug. i am gonna get for myself tomorrow.
    i don't know what model of MSD you need, i have to look at the catalog at home( i am on vacation right now). But i know the accel coil is 1240(yellow) or 1240C (crome).
    don't forget to change the gap on the spark plugs or you will burn them.
    good luck.
    Alex.

    I think the output of the coil is determined by the amount of secondary winding's it has and strength of magnet.....more winding's.....higher output(>30,000v)......bigger spark at plug's

    I think the square ones are for larger engines I remember my old 350 had a big square one.

    Talking While you're answering the ACCEL coil question...answer this MSD coil question.

    When shopping for a MSD Blaster 2 Coil.....must you purchase the one with or without the BALLAST resistor?
