Accel BEI II?

[67charger383]

Just picked this up for a good deal.

NOS in box Accel BEI distributor with mechanic tach drive for a big block mopar and Accel BEI II ignition box.

Bought so I could run a old Jones/Stahl/Moroso tach without going points or magneto.

has anyone used one of these boxes? MSD makes an adapter to use a 6al, but I’m curious as I have a thing for period speed parts. And could I wire up a rev limiter to this like a old Mallory Engine Safety Control?

Very nice vintage part ### I have many of the Rev control units u mentioned I can send wiring directions if you need it .

Take a picture of the trigger. I can’t remember if those are a magnetic pick up or a light.

What u have worked back in the day and will do the same today / and still better than some modern China junk.

I had one of those set ups on a 318 Duster I owned 20 years ago. It performed well, but I went to an MSD system when I put in a 360. I put the Accel parts out at swap meets & couldn't give it away.

It’s because it’s such a rare/obscure part and nobody knows it exists. I’m always reading old magazines and collect old speed parts and I’ve never heard of a BEI until I saw one for sale a year ago online.

people will assume it’s a dual point glancing at it.

It also has ROLLER BEARINGS on the shaft. This thing is super nice

Go on ebay and type in Accel BEI and save search it will alert you when some pop up then u can hort up some spare parts to keep should you need them.

I’d love to put that on a distributor machine and see how much it retards with rpm. Slew rate is always a factor.
