    Has anyone on here replaced their coils on a V8 with Accel 140032? If so did it make the truck run better? Better mileage? Did they even last? Or were they junk? I am also looking at the Granatelli ones, they put even more voltage to the plugs

    Yea that might be what I end up doing. Wasn't sure if it was a real upgrade or if it wasn't worth it. I was probably looking more into the Granatelli ones just because we are a dealer for them.

    That is what I was thinking, seems expensive for little to no improvement. I have motorcraft plugs and coils on it right now.
