Performance coil choice?

Hey All,
been awile since I posted, sorry, intern year has been kinda all consuming.

I need to replace the coil in my 1994 F250 supercab, 5.8 MFI, and I was wondering in anyone has a suggestion for aftermarket coils?

Thanks,
Derrick

I put the MSD coil on my 460. Can't say the earth moved after the install but its got a much higher voltage, which I like.

I used the Accel on my 4.9, didn't seem to help a whole lot and burned out quick.

I got the MSD when I bought my MSD box and Mallory Distrib. Its kinda lacking if you just get the coil. I did one piece at a time to see if I noticed any differences and well theres a good bit of idle and accel difference.

Thanks for the input guys, went with the MSD, actuall made a noticable difference on starting, throttle response and maybe a little mileage increase. (hard to be sure yet.)

thanks,
Derrick

Did you get just the coil or the whole system?

I have the MSD system on mine. Coil, plug wires, and msd6a box. I noticed a little better idle and acceleration, a tiny bit more power, and no change in mileage.

Just got the coil for now, but will probably replace the whole system when finances allow.
