Never heard of the Accell one, but it is cheaper then the MSD ($499 vs $299). But, I got the GM one cheaper then the Accell.

The ad says it is for the later pin drive.
But, it also says it has an oil-lite bushing.

The second generation vacuum vented GM Opti-Spark has a ball-bearing.

I would buy the MSD in spite of the price difference. Accel electrical and electronics have too many problems. I have no reason to think, from past experience, that this is anything but a case of "you get what you pay for."

I had a problem with an Accel AFPR... they told me it was "cranked all the way up to full pressure and had thread sealer on the set screw."

To this day, I wonder how those things happened... cause I sure as hell didn't do them.
