Ignition Systems Jacobs or Holley
 

I am considering the purchase of a Jacobs or Holley ingition system for my 88 coupe. It is now mass air with gt-40 and 65tb. I would appreciate hearing about anyones experiences with either system or a comprable piece.
Thanks

I wouldn't go with anything but an MSD myself, but if I had to choose one of the two you're deciding on, I'd go with Jacobs. Holley stuff just seems to be of such chinsey quality these days, I tend to steer clear whenever possible. Need a for-instance? BLOWtech: a Holley company, NOS: a Holley company, and Holley's own SysteMAX intakes look like they were cast by a high school student. Dirty, cheap, and overpriced in my book.

Again, these are just MY opinions, and if anybody doesn't like them, you know what to do. :D

I like my jacobs..their expensive but mines been in two different cars and I've never had problems.

All the racers I know run nothing but MSD. Jacobs is way too expensive.

everything documented in magazine tests on ignitions systems points towards the msd is the brand to beat

I've always run MSD products in the past and all I can say is great things about them. Saying that, my current car had Jacobs products on it when I bought it. They seem to be excellent quality and I have been very pleased with my setup so far. As far as prices go, someone set Jacobs products were alot more expensive. If thats the case, I would buy MSD.

I can't help on the Holley products, don't know anyone thats ever used their stuff.

Another vote for MSD.

I've been running my MSD 6AL box for about 2 years now with no problems.

Stay with MSD at least you can add modules to keep it growing with your needs. add nitrous add module, add blower add module. etc...etc...
