Default Jacob's Ignitions

Was just wondering if anyone has ever installed one of their systems? If so what were your impressions? Was it all they claimed it to be? Or was it :bs ?

thanks I was just curious, actually I have an Accel 300+ I acquired somewhat cheaply a while back I was planning on using. Just trying to figure out a place to mount it.

i bought some of their stuff for my '69 small block, and IMHO, the quality SUCKS!!! not the initial quality, but the stuff didn't hold up too well. 50% of the spark plug wire boots split from heat. they were high dollar, custom fit wires and they didn't fit too well either. the fancy-schmancy performance coil leaked like a sieve, and the distributor cap damn near cracked in half - these are just the highlights. the wires and other items had a life time warrenty, but it's such a pain in the butt to keep sending the stuff back and forth. can't say i noticed any improved performance either. i don't think jacob's products are worth the $$$, and i will never buy any jacobs products again.
