Cures all jetting issues, as the ads used to read, is off the mark.

Used one a customer bought back in the 90's I found some of the claims dubious at best. I believe one claim was it could detect if the combustion goes out prematurely and reignite it. I call BS, multi spark maybe, but it's not detecting poop.
It's a CDI, just like MSD, Crane, permatune, bosch, etc. |

I wasn't saying anything bad about it, seems to work good, I just didn't care for the 80's/90's magazine marketing spin. |

An old roommate had a Jacobs setup on a 428 Ford. He flogged that thing and never had any ignition problems that I was aware of.
Like everyone else said, just run it. |
