Jacobs Energy Pack

I was wondering if anybody had ever used a Jacobs Ignition system on there trucks. Ive heard great stories about better milage and more power. And they where fairly simple to install. They were on a regular distributor engine, and i dont know for sure how that would work on our coil engines. But anyways any thoughts or comments on this would be good.

to burns... a new coil will not improve milage or power, it just lightens your wallet. a coil either works or it dont.

motor city-- maybe i dont understan the jacobs coil. you got a 71 motor that should just be a single distributor ignition, with a coil . why would this be a problem with a new coil or energy pack ?
