Yup, you heard me...this is going to be a good thread right here
Well, my Jacobs FC1000 has started to take a dump...it's getting harder to start...cuts out...it's acting a fool... So, my question is, of course, what would be the best box to replace it with? I've heard terrible things about MSD and Jacobs...and I'ver heard good things too... But I did some searching online and found the Crane Cams HI-6 box has very good opinions...reliability, price, power, etc. Has anybody heard of the HI-6, anybody using one??

I have now the Jacobs FC1000, Ultra Ultra coil to match, stock TFI module and distributor, Moroso Ultra 40's, and Motorcraft plugs...if it matters

So any opinions, data, links, all help appreciated.

Thanks

I have had no problems with my MSD6-BTM with a Accel high output coil. I will eventually change to a PS91 Crane coil.
