Ignition?

Dog5ohfun · 06-19-2002, 05:46 PM

I am looking at putting a new ignition in. I am leaning toward the MSD Digital 6 Plus but there has been a lot out about the Jacobs Electronics 5.0 ignition. Does anyone have any information on it and how it compares to others on the market? I want to go with MSD for the name and reputation. The Jacobs is a little more but they claim gas mileage and better performance through the whole RPM range.

I prefer the Crane HI-6, but between the two you mentioned, I'd go with MSD.

Take care,
-Chris
