OZ-man, Accel products are OK- often better than production but not used in high-end race cars. As far as coils are concerned, its often better to use a package of components from one mfgr rather than a mix-and-match from many suppliers. Most e-coils (the ones that look like transformers) are interchangeable on electronic ignitions, and a few are production (or Chinese) parts inside an extruded aluminum heat-sink. For extra cost....
I was thinking of trying a e-coil with my Bosch electronic trigger (hall effect).
There was a bit of talk on another thread about MSD boxes. I've used them, but they've not lasted long (long enough for me). They work great while they are going but can leave you stranded.
I feel a coil with a bit more punch is a whole lot more simple than a electronic box full of gizmos that nobody seems to know much about.
I've heard the e-coils are more efficient than the traditional style coil so for the same current draw you get more bang for your buck. Like the coil used on the GM HEI.
It's just a matter of which coil ?
