I wish I had a nickle for every time I have heard this same story (from mostly
MSD users but also Jacobs users). I personally don't know why people even mess
w/the stock ignition - afterall, it is already a capacitive discharge type setup
(has been since the early 70s) and solid as a rock. Maybe its because of the
multiple spark (only good for lower rpms?) or the increased spark current (which
eats up all the rest of the system). I use the Accel coil w/the stock system
(plug and play) for a slightly hotter? spark and extreme reliability (113k miles
on stock setup and at least 80k on Accel coil). I wonder if Accel makes the
stock coil for Mopar cause it looks and acts identical (except color).
Just my $0.02.
Latr,
Shane
ps - glad to hear that the truck is back!
