I don't have the new one but I have the Jacobs Rotary Energy Pack on my car for close to four years and I love it. Lots of people don't like it because of the price, but in my opinion, it does have its adantages. You can get better starting, better idling, runs much better... I also converted the jacobs with direct fire setup by using a Harley Davison dual 12v output ignition coil and runing 2nd Gen Spark Plugs on a 12A Street Port.

I could not get the jacobs to work propertly by doing the direct fire setup that the MSD guys are doing with the two coils in paraller. That would not work with the Jacobs...

Other than they're expensive, not sure how much this one is but I paid over 300.00 dollars four years back, and do not regret it at all....

I have it. I got my car, it ran like crap, did a tune up, it ran well, put in the ignition and coils and it ran great. I'd suggest it to anyone. The only hard part was finding a place to mount the damned thing.


Jacob's FC1000 ignition, 2 MSD Blaster coils, NGK wires and NGK plugs.

Any other places to buy?

I finished reading this thread, and I am interested in getting the FC1000. But, I can't find any websites that sell it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
