switching to platinum 3923s this weekend. i am also going to put in MSD Street Fire wires and some kind of coil. my question is whether to use a Accel coil or a MSD coil. I had a Accel coil blow up in my S-10 (it died), so i am trying to steer away from the accel. but which one preforms better?

 

MSD blaster 2

 

People on here arn't fans of the accel coil, although I've used one for over a year without problems with the adapter harness. As far as performance... Can't really say if one is better than the other, but if I had to do it again... i'd choose the msd coil for the reason you suggested above. (coil blowing up before) Thats not the first time i've heard that.

 

I use the MSD Blaster 2 coil. Bought two pipe clamps from Menards and mounted it to the stock coil location. Works well.

 

i have msd , accel wiring harness for the coil , but msd you cant beat

 

I had one of the good Accels, it lasted over a year. Now have MSD.

 

The ACCEL coil only lasted about 3-4000 miles in my S-10. I am going to get the MSD if im not getting sport bumpers this weekend. thanks for the imput!

 

What's wrong with the stock coil if it checks out? All you need is a healthy blue spark to get things going.

That's my back up. I also carry a spare alternator and belt, fuses, light bulbs, triangle reflectors and fire extinguisher.
