What brand of Coil on Plug coils?

[98EXPY 5-0]

I got my Summit catalog yesterday and I see a bunch of different options for COPs. Though most say they are for the 4.6 Mustang, a couple list 2v 5.4L.

ACCEL was one of them. Under $200 for 8. Are these any good? If not, what brand is recommended?

As far as I know 2V 4.6 and 5.4 COP's are the same. I was doing some reading on this actually, there's about a million and a half discussions about them around with a bunch of discussion surrounding the 4V engine coils.

The only question that I have is that the price of the high performance coils is roughly half of a stock replacement from Auto Zone, so... can they be all that great?

It seems like a crapshoot, who knows what's best anymore? Heck Summit has their own brand too.

I put a set of cheap e-bay ones on my '99 f-250....$112 for all 8. they worked for 30k more miles until I sold it.

If you think about it, they only fire 1/8th as much as a standard distributor-type coil does. So they should last quite a bit longer.

Using that logic, I should only have to change my spark plugs half as often as a 4 cylinder, right? Ya see, these V8s are saving us money.

i was wondering how are the ACCEL 140032 supercoil is. Im thinking about ordering all eight since
im going to be changing the plugs soon. I was also wondering about where i should put the dielectric
grease when i install the coils?
