I have only seen the Jacobs ignition on one 240 and that was civickilla's before he got his SR swap. Form what I saw when he dynoed it, it actually did give him some power I'm not sure on how much.

You could also look into MSD ignitions and stuff like that...

sounds about right. It obviously was worth his investment so its something that you should consider on getting if you are really interested in an ignition system that gives a little go also.

you have to have Jacob's moidfy your dist. cap in order for the i.c.e PAK to work.......seems that jacob's stopped modifying them though....good luck......

civickilla's right... i'm the one who now has his old ice pak and it's damn near impossible to even get ahold of jacobs tech support. I'd get an msd to save all the hassle, but i don't know what their gains are...

they modify the dist cap to enable the I.C.E. PAK to draw the timing from your factory coil

no you dont need to modify your distributor cap because it is external not internal. i've had it running on my car for over a year easy to install once u mount it and a decent increase in power.

todd... do you have the jacobs ice pak? The KA has an internal coil and like most aftermarket ignition systems, jacobs uses an external coil.
