MSD Ignition

I have Jacobs Electronics Omni pack in my 80 Bronco that doesn't utilize the coil. I've had it for about 10 years and now it is sparking on the outside of the case. It works great but I think maybe I need to replace it.

Anyway, has anyone tried the MSD 6A?

Seems to work fine for me.

I just realized the MSD 6A replaces the ignition module. I still use mine with the Jacobs but not my coil. Have you noticed any differences in performance?

I put a complete MSD ignition on my truck with the six cylinder. MSD6A box, coil, harness, new wires, plugs, etc. It did a tiny little bit for power, and a tiny little bit for mileage. Overall, it wasn't worth the money. But if you're looking to replace the old stuff because it's shot, then it would work OK for you.

Just don't expect huge gains.
