Anyone want a NEW Jacobs Ignition?

[fiero308]

hi, all;
I am looking at buying a NEW Jacobs Pro Street ignition system for my 2.8; it will be later transferred to my replacement engine if possible/compatible.
A high energy ignition will ensure that you fully burn all your combustion mixture and this one has (I think) the best write-ups and reliability record. For what it is worth I found another Cdn supplier who also handles MSD and he says "DON"T touch the MSD!!"  too many problems!

I have found a Canadian source that will sell the Jacobs Pro Street Ignition system which consists of the ignition box and their Ultra coil for a fraction of what it is available for in the states.  Somehow.  I am not asking too many questions or he may realize his price is pretty attractive.  The price he quoted me (and I double and triple checked) was $425 Cdn (plus taxes and ship) for the package (2 items).  They are in BC somewhere, so shipping is another $15 or so.

A quick check with Jeg's and Summit in the states shows them selling these two items for a combined $487.98US!!!!!!!!!!!!  PLUSPLUSPLUS....  I talked to this supplier and if we put together almost ANY volume purchase we can get a BIT of a further discount - will help pay for taxes and shipping, anyway.
I am going to get one anyway, but if we order, maybe 5, we may do a bit better.  Any interest or questions please contact me; so check out this product and the website at http://www.jacobselectronics.com/products/energypaks/prostreet.htm
have a great day!!

As long as the price doesn't go up, count me in!!!  Any idea as to when you're planning on placing the order?

hi Tyler
as a pretty amazing coincidence the guy called me about an hour after i posted that note to see if I was still interested. So I told him what I was doing and he is going to get one in anyway and I will take it anyway and then people can have a look.  He said if I buy a quantity (to be defined....) then he will give a kickback but he wants to see the quantity first. Not too surprising.  It is a good system and a good price anyway.
So he is getting one in next wk and if I get some response from people by end next wk I will give him a number.
It should work well on your car; single coil; external HEI type I think?  That is what I have right now and don't know what the future will bring for a swap subject.....

I need an msd-4 (DIS)

any chace of getting a price break on that?

[fiero308]

I can ask the guy I am dealing with; I have no idea if this particular company deals in MSD or not but will check and let you know; is there a particular model number etc?
Also, better let me know what it includes or does NOT include; they package the Jacobs ignition BOX and COIL together but jacobs and summit and jeg's do NOT so the same might apply to MSD. Give me a bit of a breakdown; ie is it a box and a coil you are after?  Any wires or other items that you would need?

Just digital DIS-4 with harness for a 3800sc. if he carries them , 3 coil packs.

[fiero308]

Box, 3 coil packs and a harness.  i'll ask the question when I talk to him next and will let you know.
Do you have prices already?  I have no idea what those things go for.
of course you see all this stuff go for ie, $100 to $200US on ebay, but.................
why exactly are they selling them (used) and what if there is something wrong?
That is something I won't buy used, I think.
