So, I want to get one, but I have a few questions:
Where is the best place to get one?
Is there a certain one for our car, or is there a universal one?
Thanks.
(whats up with my posts starting over again, and all yours leaving off from the old board?!?)

yea its the universal one, any auto parts store should have em...
yeah, after you get it...look in the how-to section for my how-to on the accel coil..piece of cake.

I need to know the highest Revs for the accel coil... did anyone that bought the coil still have the box or the instruction sheet?

here http://www.mrgasket.com/accelmain.html i a think you can find info there.
Shoot... I'm considering dumping my Accel Coil... It says it can only go up to 6,500... hmmm... I should be able to increase the spark gap again if i get a better coil.

Accel does make a coil that can handle higer rev's... it black and has a yellow sticker with the letter's "CD" for Capacitive Discharge.
the Rev specs are 3,000 to 10,000 or was it 8,500... either way it should fit my application nicely.

I need the part number for an accell coil that will work on our accords.
tnx guys

Things to come: Front and rear sway bars off SEi, Front and rear disc brakes off SEi, struts and springs, 4-2-1 manifold, 2.25" custom exaust, 16" rims (ROTA circit 8) with 205/45/R16 rubber (Falkon), clear taillights, new paint (this summer), custom cold air intake with box, oh ya, and fancy blue vacum lines
I think it is 8140c for the chroome one. It is a universal part and I just asked the guy at autozone for one. Also if you plan on going 2.5 for your cat back you might want a cam also or just go 2.25 that seems to work the best unkess your engine is modded to hell. That is just IMHO
excellent, thank you for answering my question, and for the suggestion.

No problem I just put one I got off ebay for 9 dollars on my GF's car she likes it she has an 86 LX.
im thinking about getting one of those pretty soon, what do they do?
more power to the plugs lots of people also say gap your plugs to.050 but that is just MHO
would this provide better gas milage? or would it use more gas?
my plug wires are shit so im getting better ones soon, i will pic one of these up too. how much do they usually cost? i thik the crome ones are more expensive.
Where I got mine the chrome and yellow were the samn price. I do not really know about the MPG but the box says you get more.. I got a chrome one from ebay for 9 dollars I just searched for accel coil.
about how much are they new?
I got mine at advance auto parts for $32.
Peace!!

same with me 32 new also ebay had some new ones.
gonna install it pretty soon, what kinda performance improvments can i see?
depends on how crappy the stock one performed.
what kinda plug wires do i need for the coil to work? the wire that runs from the distrubitor to the coil isnt big enough to fit into the accel coil, ( i think my wires are the orginal crap)
im gonna get new wires but i was wondering if anyone else has ran into this problem.
ok it fits all the way on if i force it on. not sure if thats how it soposed to be or not. someone reply!
That's how mine was with the original and it worked fine. Then, I got some NGK's and it's the same way.

If you slide the rubber wire boot back a bit to expose the metal clip... you should be able to get it in.
But the premade wires you buy from the store usually glue the rubber boot into place so it may be hard to move.
