Default Ignition Coils

My ignition coil is bad.... I'm just trying to decide on whether I should get the OEM one, or an Accel "Performance" ignition coil. Is there any benefit to either one? I found one that LOOKS OEM on eBay, but I'm not sure if it's a quality coil. Otherwise, the other OEM ones are about $25-35 more than the Accel coil.

Please let me know what you think!

Stock ignition system, stock motor = OEM

Modified motor and ignition system = Accel

That is all you will need.

Anything else is overkill.

I can't remember how many times I have helped people save money by going OEM, when they wanted aftermarket, when all they needed was OEM.

actually, the Accel ones were less than OEM. However, after searching for hours I found one on eBay for $30 shipped (brand new, seller has 99.9% positive, with good comments about the coils the guy sells).

Thanks again for your help.
