Hey, I just got this Accel 8140C Super Stock Coil for my leading side. Anyone have any history with these or heard anything about them?

You need to make sure it can be mounted on its side without leaking oil. Some coils will leak
when not mounted upright.

I had those coils years ago and they were junk. I swapped to MSD Blaster II coils and the car ran much better.

The big problem with them is not that they are really that bad but they don't work all that well on a rotary. It says in their specs that they are effective to 6,500 RPM.
