Fed up with MSD and Accel, what other options?
Been running MSD 6AL boxes on the boat for two years and I am on my 4th box. I run Accel super coils and I am on my 5th coil! Everything is rubber isolated so I am not sure what is going on!
Thinking of making a switch, what other options? What about Jacob Electronics? Anybody running there stuff?
Thanks
Jim

I bought a couple of used Crane HI-6M boxes a couple years ago and couldn't be happier.
Thunderbolt distributor and Crane LX92 coil. Bunch of different preset timing curves, timing
retardation and I am going to hook up a knock sensor.

I think Daytona Sensors make it now. Brace yourself I think they are pretty proud of them $$$.

Jim,
Daytona Sensors is in a class by itself, it's marine system is the most competent product in the industry today. There is exceptional value in their product line, more-so than buying cheap twice.

I put a D.U.I distributor in the 509 I just built and it works good. Being an hei set up the only thing to go bad is the module & even gm didn't have too many problems with that. Randy

As far as the money is concerned on the Daytona Sensors you have to understand their unit is more comparable in performance to a MSD 7AL rather than a 6 AL. So it is more money than a 6 but less than a 7. It also is capable of performing more functions
