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 !Originally posted by jkim1978
what is an accell coil do? cause everybody on this board is talking about it.. and i don't have the slightest clue what that does... and also... after i hear about what the coil actually is... how much is it... and where can i get it...
Accel coil is just a type of ignition coil !
hope this helps !

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?
what do you mean get it past 4k? it stops? check your wires,plugs,rotor,button,fuel filter, and the dreaded...carb adjustments
I havent forgotten my roots
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.
what did you change in your engine ( replaced with new !)

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.

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.

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?

Please...somebody reply with more information on this. I want to buy a MSD coil. Should we get the amp as well? How much are we looking at? What model number?
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 had the same question. so how much do they cost?
They can cost between 30-40 dollars.

where can you get a MSD Coil... are they universal....and how hard is the install??? Thanks...

~StOcK PiCs~
its pretty easy to install - just check the how too's
I got a msd blaster2 and it only took about 20 min to put in
You can get them at any auto parts store and i think they are all universal
I have also sceen them cheep on ebay I got my gf's coil their for 9.00
Yea I got the accel and changed my gap to .054 it works well but I was thinking of getting a MSD SS coil anyone have experience with them.
whats the difference between the round super coils, and the squarish accel super coils? there all universal for any ignition, right? thanksss

i sold the honda. now working on a car with little bit more potential, an 88 supra. i still stop by occasionally.
I think the square ones are for larger engines I remember my old 350 had a big square one.
When shopping for a MSD Blaster 2 Coil.....must you purchase the one with or without the BALLAST resistor?

do you know if the universal square ones would work if i could get one real cheap?
