I'm interested in doing a whole ignition swap and I've heard alot of good things about Jacobs. I went to their site but they didn't have a whole lot of info, such as what fits what, were to get them, and price. So i was curious to see if you guys knew anything.
Thanks

They're assholes.  Go with MSD.

Jacobs is OK, so is Mallory, Crane, Holley, etc. If you want better than OK, get MSD. They offer a wide range of systems with a great focus on adaptability and future upgrades. there are ads in countless mags where other companies bash MSD, saying that their systems are better. but if its good enough for a 6000 HP Blown MFI Nitro Hemi, then its good enough for joe shmoe, right?

if u go MSD (i'd suggest it) dont forget the Tach Adaptor #8920. there was a thread here month ago or so.... check it out.
