Accel coilpacks

[racnaa]

Anybody else had problems with these?

Clip broken on # 3 dang thing fell off. Now just gotta figure out if its the coil pack or the harness. of course it had to be one of the worst to get to. GRRRRR

I have only had one stock unit fail after 123k so I only have one Accel coil pack but it is working fine. I think it has been installed for about 15k miles.

I had 2 or 3 go bad at once, so I decided to replace all of them. The only ones the part store had 8 of were the accels. Plus to my surprise they were cheaper then the motorcrafts. I think I may have screwed up the clip on the harness. I have it wire tied on now and she is purrin like a kitten on all 8. Fingers crossed.

I was going to buy some, i talked with my part guys, some friends with mustangs, and looked em up online, they didn't get very good reviews, a lot of people had problems with them from the sounds of them, I found the msd equivalents for $300 online , i think ill just stick with those

How's it going im new to the membership but have used the site for a while. I started with the accel and they work great. I have a very high compression of 10.6: 1 which will definitely put the spark to the test. They have been on since I built the motor 6 months ago.

Since I got the connector to stay on, all is good,

Yup, seems they go around 100-120K usually just one, but when one goes might as well replace them all cause another's probably on its way out

+1 for change them all at once.... especially if you are gonna change plugs I would spend the extra money and do the COPs as well... on ebay all 8 are under $100 shipped and since you already have to move them why not replace them and be good for another 100K +
