I know that Jacobs ignition systems will 're-fire' if they are blown out, and reading their information, they say that they are the originators of this type of an Ignition System.  Are they stretching the truth a bit?

My only experience with their system is with a low-compression bus motor that was turboed...  We finally found that 930 plugs would not foul, and would last with this system, and both the idle and top-end was -MUCH- improved over stock...

I am certain that any of a number of systems would work for any given set of priorities (track, DD, etc.), but I do like to understand how each of these systems works, so that I can understand what choice fits my needs best...

TIA,
