Hello,
Kind of a price check kind of thread. I have an old (10+ years old) Jacob's ignition box. I am not at home at the moment, don't remember the part number and don't have a photo. (yet) If there is any interest, I will put an ad in the classifieds. The reason to put it here, is you need a price for the classifieds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And I have no idea if it has any value at all. -- brett |

Really hard to say, IMO.
Jacobs was The Hot Setup when your only other choices were OEM Bosch and PermaTune (before they earned their PermaDoom moniker). Nowadays, one of the multiple-spark technologies (e.g. Autotronic (MSD) or Crane) seem to be the systems of choice. The Jacobs is an interesting 'period-correct' upgrade, but it's neither factory nor the best currently available CDI. My guess is it'd have more interest with the early 911 guys who are having to deal with failing Bosch units. OK - that includes 914.6 guys too - but I have to wonder how many 914.6 guys are looking for period-appropriate but not factory stuff. I know of a couple of hard-core concours 914.6 guys and you'd never get them to consider anything but a factory-looking part. The market for old new technology is fairly specialised... |
