Can anyone offer an opinion on either one? I plan on replacing mine in the near future and am leaning toward the MSD. Someone posted that ACCEL coils are notoriously bad for our cars, can anyone back this up?
I think the MSD Coils are pretty new, I just saw them in the new Summit catalog. Does anyone have them?
I've been running Accel Coils for about a month. Not a single complaint.
But I wouldn't run aftermarket coils with the msd dis-4. Thats an expensive mistake.

Just curious, why not? Please keep me from making a mistake because I'm waiting on the MSD coils to hit summit, and I already have the box.

The guy I bought my coils from blew up 2 or 3 msd dis-4's before he finally when back to the stock coils.

I have the MSD DIS-4 box with Accel coils and have blown 3 Accel coils already. They worked fine before I put the MSD box on, but now I have blown 3 in the past 4 months. I am planning on switching to the MSD coils ASAP but I am running stock coils right now and they seem fine.

I know that 96Beastv6 has problems w/ his accels. The motor would miss in the higher RPM's. I'm looking foward to the MSD coils. Now I know not to get a box in the future. I wonder if the MSD coils would work properly w/ the MSD DIS4?
GM 3800 PowerPak guinea pig<p>\"what cam, that\'s just a nasty mis-fire...\"
Correct, I was having problems with my Accell coils. Anytime the engine was under heavy load when it was hot outside (as it ALWAYS is in FL) I would get misfires. It would also misfire even under moderate load at in the upper rpms, like RiceCooker said. I went back to stock coils when I started spraying and haven't had a misfire since. One thing I do notice in this thread though, take a look at the regions that people are at where the Accels are working fine: North Carolina, New York, Delaware, Kentucky. You see the pattern there? All northern areas where there are actually real seasons and it's not hot ALL the time. I think that may be the key to the Accel problems.

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to order the MSD's soon. I checked with summit and they are on backorder, if you order them today they say they will ship on 5/15.
I rarely have problems with my Accel's and it is often 100°+ here in Kansas.
