Accel in-cap supercoil for my 1986?
Hey guys,
Im buying a new coil for my '86 305TPI. I was looking at the Accel in-cap supercoil, but on Summit's pages it's listed for 87s but not 86s - will it not work?
It's this one

Thanks!

Re: Accel in-cap supercoil for my 1986?
wont work for any tpi system, tpi uses a small cap distributor and a remote coil, so theres no place to mount that(correct me if im wrong but i havnt seen one where theres room for a large cap distributor

My 86 also has the big in-cap coil - hence the question 
I had just not found the right one, it is this one I need http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...140003&FROM=MG
They even make a special TPI extension piece as the stock one won't fit:

Thanks for your input though

Re: Accel in-cap supercoil for my 1986?
I see some bad mistyoing up there...85-85???
OK...From the facrory, 87 & earlier had external, smaller cap distributors, later years had the large, HEI (in-cap-coil) distributor.
Apparently, your 86 is not the original engine. But since you have a HEI dizzy, that Accel coil-in-a-cap (HEI) will work fine for your car.

Ya, now we got that all settled 
And just to have it said - yes, it is the original engine in my car but I guess that was pretty obvious as it was stated that 86 and earlier thirdgens had the big cap internal coil hei.
