It sounds like there was a happy ending!!!!
I've kinda been following this thread as I have a real hatred for anything that says Accel from past experience in my hot rod/racing life. Back in the late '80s and early '90s, those were the performance electrical pieces to use - then they lost their way with mostly off shore suppliers with little quality. They were recently bought out by MSD and will hopefully become a quality manufacturer again although MSD have been having a few problems since they were sold 2x in the past few years and went through Chapter 11 bankruptcy/reorganization.

I hear that! I don't think I'll ever buy an Accel product. Those big goofy square coils in the 90's sucked!
