which Accel coil?. Yes connecting the 2 leads on the BR will bypass it but most coils require a BR of some particular resistance.

i run an accel 12 volt coil, but i have an HEI/bosch type distributor that can run off 12 volts without burning up - to bypass, you would just connect the wires together - that's how i had mine hooked-up.

I've run the 8410 on our load bank, just thru it in the trash can not even close to a quality piece....note the label made in ???? come on Guess for me. Just to answer your question it's designed to run at 6V through the ballast any more than that it will overheat and drop voltage, the 8410 is a points coil and not recommended for Electronic. get the right stuff and quit wasting you money on all this witches brew http://www.4secondsflat.com/Ignition.html

I just put mine on tonight. So far so good. It's the 8140M (mopar) one. If it makes a difference or not. I'll post if it goes down hill from here.

I'm hoping that I won't have a problem....it's made in china so we'll see. If it don't work I definitely post so more people will see what they are (Accel) is selling these days.
By the way when I was on the phone with them(Accel) they basically was saying that they build Mopar Performance's distributers for them.

That doesn't surprise me. I have a Mopar Performance blaster two and 6al(MSD stuff all in black). It works flawlessly.
I'll be getting the Accel billet(ACC-59300) dizzy here in the next week or so. I'm hoping it's going to be worth a poop.
