Coil and Ign. Mod. Help?!!
I have a 81 f150 4x4 wit a 351M and a C6
Today i bought an Accel 8140 coil for my truck and a new BWD Ignition module. My question is can i just hook this coil up and new ignition module up, or is there something else i need to do? I put new BWD wires on last week and new Autolite AP25 plugs. I've been reading a little and have read something about a resistor being needed before the coil?
Here are links to what i bought:
Buy Accel Super Stock Points Coil 8140 at Advance Auto Parts
Buy BWD Ignition Control Module CBE7Z at Advance Auto Parts
Thank You,
Josh

Coil should be fine as a direct replacement.
I would have just painted my old one yellow

LMAO the reason I got it is because I think something is wrong with my ignition system, when I get on the gas the truck cuts out like its flooding, so I was thinking Maybe I'm not getting enough spark. Also you wouldn't happen to know what I should gap the plugs at with the new coil, and wouldn't happen to know the stock voltage on the factory coil would you?

If it runs good with a normal gap, try opening it up .005 and see if it still starts OK.
