ACCEL: A Legacy Built on the Racetrack

ACCEL has spent more than five decades earning its place as one of the most respected names in performance ignition. For over 50 years, ACCEL has been a leader in performance fuel and ignition systems, proving itself on the world's race tracks and drag strips — and on the street. That dual identity — equally at home in competitive motorsports and daily driving — is what separates ACCEL from the crowd.

The company was originally the high-performance division of Echlin Ignition, which was considered the gold standard of aftermarket ignition parts in the 1960s and '70s. That heritage of precision engineering never left. Originally known for cutting-edge distributors and ignition wire sets, ACCEL has grown into a full-line performance brand supporting both street and racing applications.

What ACCEL Makes

ACCEL manufactures a wide range of performance ignition products including digital ignition systems, coils, ignition wires, spark plugs, fuel injection systems, components, and a complete line of caps, rotors, and ignition parts. Whether you're building a dedicated drag car or simply want stronger spark delivery on a weekend cruiser, ACCEL has a solution engineered to fit.

At the heart of the ACCEL lineup are their legendary ignition coils. ACCEL SuperCoils feature advanced bobbin technology, highly specialized silicone magnetic steel cores, and are a direct OEM replacement. For coil-on-plug applications common in modern engines, ACCEL's direct ignition coil kits and ignition coil sets deliver that same race-proven technology in a plug-and-play format.

Equally important to a strong ignition system are the wires that carry the spark. ACCEL offers custom-fit spark plug wire sets with extreme heat ceramic boots and ferro-spiral cores for demanding applications like GM LS engines, as well as universal-fit 8mm spiral-core wires with silicone jackets for broader compatibility. Their spark plug wire sets are engineered to minimize electromagnetic interference while maximizing voltage delivery to the spark plug.

Designed by Enthusiasts, Proven by Racers

ACCEL is dedicated to research, engineering, and testing, working side-by-side with enthusiasts and top racers to ensure their products perform perfectly. This commitment to performance results in products that enable the performance enthusiast to reach peak performance through the management of fuel mixture, ignition timing, and spark delivery.

ACCEL is constantly developing innovative new products designed to push power, speed, and performance to match advancements in automotive technology. Now part of Holley Performance, ACCEL offers a comprehensive selection of performance products, including coils, digital fuel injection systems, fuel injectors, distributors, caps, rotors, ignition wires, and spark plugs. Whether you're chasing a faster quarter-mile or simply want reliable starts every morning, ACCEL delivers ignition performance you can count on.
