IGNITION SYSTEMS

Don't mess with alternative ignition systems. I have heard from
several sources (including JW) that the stock ignition system is
VERY good and more than able to handle aftermarket mods. Jacobs
has a system, but I dont trust it and they want around $400. MSD
has a brain box for the spark plugs (multiple firing), but it is
all do it yourself (you have to cut and solder) and I dont think
you will see an improvement, they want about $50 to $70 for the box
and it requires some sort of adapter. If anyone tries one of these
systems let me know.

I tried a Jacobs ignition kit on my car and was very
disappointed. Installation was not that easy, the kit required
using no platinum plugs (Jacobs recommendations was Autolite or
Champion, yuucckk!) There was no improvement in performance and in
fact the output spark from the Ultra Coil created an annoying tick
as it fired. Definitely not worth the money or effort, but they
were very accomodating in accepting the kit back for a full
refund.
