This Upgrade is quick 10 minutes for me, simple, not very expensive $56.00, and very effective and looks Cool.
The coil is a ACCEL Performance coil part # 140021, it for 1990-1997 jeeps/mopar. $ 52.00

You also need a Harness from Pico, they sale them at most auto parts store, I got mine a Carquest for about $3.99.

You also need a Nissan Two wire Harness, that can plug into your factory coil harness, I got mine from a junk yard for free, they can be found in any nissan from 1986 and up, look for a male type one with the same size wire as the factory coil harness, I got mine out of an 1988 maxima behind the right side headlight, it went to some sort of turbo like fan.

Get Electric grease for the harness's at the autoparts store so things don't corrod.

Take the Pico Harness and grind the tips off till the metal connectors are flush. Plug into coil make sure it stays in place.

The factory harness wires go into the Accel coil the same as factory coil, the green wire on the distributer side and the white on the radiator side of coil.
so take the Pico & Junk yard Harness and make the adapter with wire in the order above.

Swap coils, greasea nd plug in adapter, readjust size of the coil to cap wire to fit coil, grease it, plug it in and test.

Pictures below should help if I fogot anything.

Enjoy the spark.

BeneFits:
- quick to install
- looks Cool

eh, who spends time watchin coils?

 

I used to run Jacobs ICE Pack. I went through two of their ecu's, both just stopped working after a while. Therefore, I don't recommend Jacobs, quality and durability is highly lacking despite the improvements gained. So, I just hard wired the upgraded coil and mounted it beside the power steering resouviour. Ran wires over to distributor. Coils absolutely can be upgraded. I had initially feared that by swapping it, that the computer would initiate the check engine light. Appearently that is not an issue for the VG's.

 

heh... these things hardly ever throw a CEL. OBD-I is awesome about that.

then there's my 240SX that's OBD-II... that ***** is giving me a CEL because I advanced the timing on it

 

Any picture host recomendations.

I prefer MSD to the others but meh, Accel still makes good stuff, I haven't really had any problems with any of them. I've done one Jacobs install and it is definitely different compared to the competition (from an installation standpoint). Most people who run them can't say enough about them, but then again most people don't have experience with any other brand aside from the one they bought.

My neighbor upgraded his 68 Camaro's ignition (was running a 6AL box with stock dizzy, and went to a full digital Mallory) and gave me his old MSD which I put on the Durango. Didn't really notice much with it though on that motor. The Mustang had a huge difference, but there are some minor differences going from points to electronic . But thats talking about the full ignition system and not just the coil which is what puna2k is talking about.

If you can find an aftermarket ignition cheap then go for it (VG only), but I wouldn't spend $100+ on one for these cars as the stock ignition is already decent.

 

Well Said, MrGone.

I have 2 jeeps with 4.0L's inline sixs, with same the Accel coils that I put in my Max, with them I can run spark plug gaps up to .65 over the factory .35-.44 . What do you think I could use in the Max? I've been running NGK Iridums @.44 for 2 years over the .39 pre gap, It me gave better MPG.

 

sounds cool but where r the pics so that we can c what u did???
