Re: accel ignition coils

The factory GM Wastespark coils provide plenty of good strong spark. In my opinion your wasting your money.

Re: accel ignition coils

Unless your coils are bad, I agree I wouldn't waste the money. The coils won't make much difference however better spark plug wires will help especially if you have a lot of miles on your stockers. Accel does make pretty good stuff. I have a set of there 8.8 wires on my 69 camaro. MSD is the best in my opinion. I have msd distributor in my 69 camaro and my 96 RS camaro has msd coils and wires on it. Taylor has decent wires too. I put taylor spiro pro wires on my 02GT and it ran smoother with a little better throttle response. Of course I was replacing old high mileage wires, but they still deliver more energy to the plugs than the stockers.
