xoomer Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 81 dl I'm looking to upgrade my coil, I'm having a slight hesitation problem and a miss with good compression fresh wires and cap and rotor, Could be my rockers need adjustment? but I'm thinking upgrading my coil... I work at a CSK Speed Shop, AKA Fancy Shucks... My options are 1. Accel (leaning that way.) 2. Mallory, Expensive (but Proprietary?) 3. MSD Along with that I'm gonna upgrade my wires as well with matching wires. I'm thinking About doing the Fuel injection conversion at some time in the near future so I'm thinking about something that would be compatible upgrades. Also I need to find a Rear brake adjuster that works so I can actually have decent brakes. Anyhow thanks in advance for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebz Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 If you are leaning toward the accel, do a search on them here before you spend the $$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azsubaru Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 1 vote to avoid Accel - I had bad luck with both the coil and the wires. The coil died completely in about 6 months, and the wires kept burning out. I'm back to OEM coil and NGK wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Before spending money on a coil I would check my distributor shaft/bushings for play. Then put a vacuum guage on it and see if that tells you anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebisko Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 How do you install a performance coil on there, electrically? I hear you have to use resistors and stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phizinza Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I had a Mallory Promaster on the Brat.. Worked great for a Ebay cheapy, but never done anything extra in the way of ponies. It was the model just before they went to internal resistors, forgot what number it was though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blew up 70 miles from home while out camping in the middle of nowhere with my wife and kid. Thankfully, a friend whom I met through this board when I moved to TX was kind enough to come down there at midnight with another coil.
