Jacobs ignition
 

Anyone have it? If so, what do you think of it. I`ll also take opinions on other ignitions . I`m planning on getting a new distributor too. Any help/info is appreciated

MSD!

I have never seen a jacobs ignition at a race track. So what does that tell you. I run all mallory just because it came with my car and works well. I would recomend MSD or mallory but don't mix brands of ignition components.

I ran Jacobs for years. It is a higher quality ignition than MSD (Construction wise).

There is a jacobs electronics store here in midland they make the (best) spark plug wires. All of there stuff is top notch.

JMO,

I've ran the jacobs box with their ultra coil for years and had nothing but great performance....that being said, i've got my eye on a msd 7al2 and hvc2 coil. I kind of feel that jacobs hasn't been advancing with technology as fast as others...imo

Id definately put my vote in for a MSD ignition, i had the 6al and just recently upgraded to the Digital 6 and i love it. Great looking, loads of features, and good name.

I have an msd 6al and after about a year and a half of use, it only works intermittently. I actually have to unplug it from time to time just to get my car to crank. It is mounted inside the car, out of the elements, so that is not a good excuse. Maybe I got a bad apple, but I dont recommend it. i do use their blaster coil, and havent had a problem with it, yet. The first time it decided to quit, I ended up sitting in my girlfriends game, missing the kickoff of the first Texans game I had been to in the new stadium, because I couldnt figure out why my engine was turning but not cranking. After about 20 or 30 minutes of messin with it, I decided to unplug the box, and it fired right up. needless to say, I dont reccommend msd, but I have no experience with Jacobs. My next ignition will be crane or jacobs though.
