The procomp or RPC brand unit. They are copied from MSD units from what I see and hear (MSD actually won a law suit against them b/c of this) and made cheaply in China or Taiwan. I just posted the same question. After reading up some- good luck getting any warrenty service should something break, or any type of customer service for that matter. Some people say they work fine, while more than a few others
have said the coils, etc. burnt after a few weeks. You have to use 2 gaskets along w/ gasket maker to get the valve covers to seal using Procomp heads from what I've heard.
Just my .02
doesnt sound to good so far . thanks
i run a ford version in my mustang.... the coil was junk so i tossed it and thru in an MSD coil.... runs just like an HEI ought to.... i've had mine for 2 years now.... and there have been a lot of high performance miles put on it
thanks thesals . does the accel syle have the coil built into the cap or os it seperate
accel makes both types with the coil in the cap and the small cap external coil HEI.... the one i have is the large cap with the internal coil
