Accel Vs. MSD
I was talking to someone at summit racing and they told me Accel had lower Ohm rating than MSD and therefor was a better choice, is that true? What are your guy'* thoughts on it?

The short wire is fine, just dont have a nice loop, kind of goes from the coil right to the plug.
As for the coil, I don't know what you have on your car. I have the 2 tower style. Take a look at what your car has. Others will know more about your car then me. The wires shoudl be right providing you have a 1994 3800 engine. But again, others will know better.
