 I've had a ACCEL Super Coil on my '95 since '96 and I've had no problems
what-so-ever. I didn't have the harness,so I tied directly into the coil
harness with some #12 gauge wire. If you have a breakdown, maybe that's
where the problem lies-in? Not large enough gauge wire and it puts an excess
load on the coil and the coil burn-out.
