ACCEL Ignition Products & Performance Components
ACCEL is a performance-ignition brand offering components for compatible racing, street-performance, hot rod, and engine-swap applications. ACCEL ignition products include distributors, coils, spark plug wires, spark plugs, modules, caps, rotors, and related fuel-injection components for a range of engine and ignition configurations. Behrent’s Performance Warehouse carries ACCEL ignition parts for maintaining, upgrading, or building compatible systems. Whether you're replacing an existing component or assembling a new ACCEL ignition setup, start with the engine and current ignition configuration, then verify the electrical, mechanical, and fitment requirements of each component.

How to Choose ACCEL Ignition Products
Start by identifying the engine, vehicle, and existing ignition system. ACCEL distributors, coils, modules, wires, plugs, and other components must match the mechanical and electrical requirements of the application and any existing ignition controls.
| ACCEL product type | What it does | What shoppers should verify |
|---|---|---|
| Distributor | Controls ignition timing and routes spark to each cylinder | Engine family, distributor type, gear compatibility, trigger style, cap clearance, and coil requirements |
| HEI distributor | Combines the distributor and ignition coil in a compact assembly | Engine application, electrical connections, firewall clearance, gear material, and timing requirements |
| Ignition coil or SuperCoil | Converts battery voltage into the high voltage needed for ignition | Ignition design, primary resistance, voltage requirements, connector style, and module compatibility |
| Spark plug wires | Carry voltage from the coil or distributor to the spark plugs | Application-specific or universal fit, length, diameter, resistance, boot angle, and terminal style |
| Spark plugs | Ignite the air-and-fuel mixture inside the cylinder | Thread size, reach, seat style, heat range, gap, and engine modifications |
| Cap and rotor | Distribute spark within a distributor-based system | Distributor model, terminal style, cap diameter, material, and rotor compatibility |
| Ignition module or conversion kit | Controls ignition switching or converts a points-style distributor | Distributor type, trigger design, wiring, coil compatibility, and resistance requirements |
| Fuel injectors | Meter fuel into an electronic fuel-injection system | Flow rate, impedance, connector, dimensions, fuel pressure, and fuel compatibility |
Identify Your Existing Ignition System
Choose an ACCEL distributor by matching the vehicle, engine, ignition design, distributor type, gear, trigger, coil requirements, electrical connections, and available clearance.
An ACCEL HEI distributor combines the distributor and ignition coil, while a conventional distributor may use an external coil. An electronic ignition conversion kit typically upgrades the triggering or switching system of an existing compatible distributor.
Distributorless and coil-on-plug systems use different components. Even universal parts must match the specifications and installation requirements of the application.
Match the Distributor, Coil, and Ignition Control
The distributor, coil, module, and ignition control must be electrically compatible. Check resistance, voltage, trigger design, connections, module compatibility, and any ballast-resistor requirements.
An ACCEL SuperCoil is a performance ignition coil for specific compatible applications. Choose it based on the ignition system requirements rather than output alone.
ACCEL distributors and coils may work with stock or other aftermarket components when their electrical and mechanical specifications are compatible. Verify each component before combining parts.
Choose ACCEL Spark Plug Wires and Spark Plugs
Choose ACCEL spark plug wires by application or required length, then verify diameter, resistance, terminals, boot angle, routing, and distributor or coil compatibility. Wire diameter alone doesn't determine compatibility.
Match ACCEL spark plugs to the engine's thread size, reach, seat style, heat range, and gap. Engine modifications, cylinder heads, compression, fuel, ignition, and intended use can affect plug selection.
Frequently Asked Questions About ACCEL Ignition Products
Is ACCEL Ignition owned by Holley?
Yes. ACCEL is part of the Holley family of performance brands.
How do you choose the correct ACCEL ignition coil?
Match the ACCEL ignition coil to the system's electrical requirements. Verify coil type, resistance, voltage, connections, distributor or module compatibility, and any ballast-resistor requirements.
Are ACCEL spark plug wires universal?
No. ACCEL offers application-specific and universal wire sets, so verify length, diameter, resistance, terminals, boot angle, and distributor or coil connection.
How do you choose ACCEL fuel injectors that fit your engine and fuel system?
Match ACCEL fuel injectors by flow rate, impedance, connector, dimensions, fuel pressure, and fuel compatibility. Required flow also depends on engine output, fuel type, pressure, and injector count.
