The jacobs wires actually are ok. I took an ohmmeter and tested the stock
wires. They were 18000 ohms. The Jacobs wires I put on there were 250
ohms. BTW, my friends MSD wires were 150 ohms. One of the Jacobs wires
fell on a header pipe and burned through. Jacobs sent me a new one in 2
days. No questions asked and it was free. I think their ignition is
probably a waste of money, but the wires are good. (they should be for 90
bucks)
