Hmmm. You can get a 6AL for nearly that price brand new from MSD. I would offer him a max of $100 and even then, it could be (a) a clone, which MSD wouldn't fix if it's been used or (b) broken, because a lot of people miswire them and fry the inductive input, which you'd need on your computerized/EFI engine.

Unless you are planning some pretty hardcore mods, I'd look into a 6A without the limiter, for about the same money, new. And maybe spring an extra $40 for a hotter coil to go with it.

What year is your jeep? later 4.0s switched to coilpacks... (I forget which year, I think 2001?)

the limiter is a must with a stick..worth its weight in gold after the first missed shift

Hey Gamble

If your're looking for a decent ignition upgrade, you might consider MSD's StreetFire ign. box.

It runs about $140 new, and it IS made in the USA(states so on the package, and on the ign. box itself)...single-stage rev limiter, 2 dials adjusted w/a mini-screwdriver(much like the MSD 6AL2, about the same size as well).

I'm running one on my Camaro, makes a hell of a difference...combined it w/a Blaster SS coil and a billet distributor from Big End performance products(Mallory, also USA-made....Big End just buys a large amount from Mallory and has their name put on it)...keep in mind, this is on a small-block Chevy, and I don't think it's compatible with Hall-Effect ignition systems(the Programmable 6AL2's ARE).
