The Echlin Bros founded Accel ignition in the 70's. So far I can't find any definitive year, but as others have said, I saw them on cars in the early 70's.


Echlin remedied its neglect of high-performance ignition systems with a program started in the 1970s. Racing quality ignition parts were marketed under the brand name ACCEL which, despite fierce competition, soon became the leading name in its field.

If you like the color and appearance, they would be a good fit, even if they MAY have been replaced a few years after the build...
