Just installed this kit on a 69 Cadillac with a 472 and it works perfectly! installed without removing the distributor. Faster starts and runs much better.
It would have been nice to see him do everything step-by-step rather than hearing him say what he did after. He also stated he lubricated and didn't recommend what kind of lubrication to use.
so you have to replace the coil as well? i just installed a mallory breakerless kit and didnt change the coil. could this cause engine bog at WOT as well as rough engine idle in drive? 1969 buick riviera with a stock 430ci BBL with a roch. 4 barrel. thanks please give tips!
If i get the accel ignition module to eliminate the points... what kind of ignition coil should i use... universal or breakerless... does it make a difference?

These things are cheaply manufactured and are a waste of money. I bought a kit and the plastic pieces that attaches to the bottom of the centrifugal advance broke with ease during the install. With good quality parts this kit would be worth it, but the parts are cheap. My advice is to either invest in a new distributor or go with a magnetic kit like the Pertronix 1181.

This pretty much showed nothing about the actual install.

Hi Alen, Accel recommends the ACC-8140

Or the ACC-8140C
