hi all.. ive read on here before that these are better than the std ford type coilpacks but cant find where i saw it.. are they any better than a std ford coilpack.. ive got a ford one but wondering if its worth paying out for one of these red msd ones or not.. theirs some on ebay but all in the usa..
thanks
jay

 

yes the red ones are better! you must be thinking their from msd- blackpool to differant companys

 

hi first time i read it i thought msd blackpool.... cant see anywhere here selling them..

 

their a us company they just do stuff like that for v8 drag cars big hp stuff

 

ACCEL 140018 coilpack is a direct fit for the early type zetec coilpacks, and often used, In use this myself, and it delivers around 48,000 volts, certainly runs better and smoother than the std ford ones I was using, and only around Ł45, I bought mine from USA in Wymondham Norfolk, wasn't in stock, ordered it monday afternoon about 4pm it was ready to be picked up 10am wednesday morning all the way from states!!

thanks for that.. does it have the same plug as the ford one..? if ordering from the states the msd one is similar priced what one would you recomend.. is going to be used with autronics sm4..?

 

Yes the ACCEL one is a direct fit, plugs straight in, on the early zetecs plug, there are 2 types of 4 cylinder plugs, one has a rounded/oval plug the other is more square, although they're both square on the outside.
Seems the us cars maybe wired opposite though, as sometimes you just need to swap 1+4 and 2+3 around that's all, ht connections easy to do.
Just be aware of the type of "tower" they have the "mk2" zetec were a lot thinner and taller, the "mk1" shorter and fatter, the accel is the shorter and fatter sort from the early zetec.
I'm totally confident the MSD one would be perfectly good, they have a very good rep, just watch the connections.
If importing from the states don't forget to watch the taxes, 4% on cost plus customs charge, parcel force charge on top, then VAT on top of all that!!
