Default Re: Phase III super Spark CD boxes

Grant (The maker of steering wheels and helmets) made the boxes for Joel-or most likely Joel bought the boxes from them and added his own decal. Grant was selling these ignition boxes back in 1968 and they were black and were 100% identical to the boxes Joel sold.

I always thought Jacobs did not even start as a company until 1973-1974 ish anyway-and they said they got their their start due to the 1970's energy crisis?.

Jacobs was the one that probabaly got the box molds from Grant when they got out of the CD ignition business and concentrated on steering wheels.

Motion used the Grant CD box and Grant did the decal and made a special instruction booklet with the Phase III logo on it.

Recently another SYC member posted this and I saved it quickly. I'm sorry I did not make a note of who posted, but thank you for sharing.

Recently Adam Tuckman shwred this original paperwork with me. I have to saw I was surprised that the silver sticker with is original, is actually very similar to the reproductions. I was also surprised that it wasn't more like the aluminum foil sticker of the OE boxes.

Paperwork looks in this example to be the OE one with a sticker over the Grant name. Is anyone willing to share that the Motion paperwork produced by Grant? I would love to see this.
