hi got a fast ? will a accle superstack coil work ok and good on a 80 slant six motor is a dodge aspen car

I would try it if you need one in a pinch.

I have gone over to using Pertronix 3 ohm coils on all my MOPARs so I can get rid of the ballast resistor.

Ted,
So if I use a "non-stock" item, I can get rid of the ballast resistor all together? How does that get wired? Differently?

They'll work OK but are nothing spectacular. There two separate times at work when we were dyno testing various German cars and seemed to be having spark blowout. Owner ran off to the parts store to see if they had a "hot" coil on the shelf, came back with an Accel coil to replace the stock, well used Bosch one - and lost about 5 horsepower. After having this happen on two different engines, there's no way I'm going to recommend actually going out and buying one in an attempt to upgrade your ignition. Now, it's possible that Bosch coils are hotter than stock Mopar coils, but that would make the Accel coil, at best, a stock replacement part rather than an upgrade. It does work as a drop in stock replacement if you've already got one,t hough.

If you are looking to eliminate the ballast resistor, unless you used one of those VW coils with the ballast resistor built in, you'd need to change to a different module like a HEI.

Jljde,
Click on the red link below my name to view wiring pictures. You can see that you just bridge the wires where the ballast was located for a full 12 volts to the coil. That is the only wiring change. I am running the orange MOPAR ECU and a 3 ohm coil. It could be a round stock style or the HEI type coil like I am running as long as it is 3 ohms. Pertronix makes both styles in chrome or black, oil filled or epoxy.

Several folks on this site are running 3 ohm coils and eliminating the ballast. The plugs run very clean so you may have to drop down a few heat ranges. I am running NGK UR4's per SL6 Dan's recommendation.

Coil specs are sometimes hard to find, especially the ohm rating. You may have to go to the mfg's website for the specs. Coils are made in many ohm ratings depending on the usage. I have seen them as low as .45 ohms up to 3 ohms. Each has it's merits and intended purpose.

I found it easier and cheaper to convert mine to GM HEI-The stock distributor works great,just set the air gap and make sure you have 300mv a/c cranking voltage.I ran a Chevete coil and heat sinked the module on a late model GM V6 ignition mounting bracket and added a power relay off of the alternator battery lead .

Super informative. Thanks Ted!
