First of all,unless you're running high compression,high boost,or a lot of
NOS,you don't need an after market ignition system. Never mind a bigger
coil. Your OE ignition system is fine.

Yes. Absolute JUNK!

NO. There's a shop in Los Angeles,El Segundo to be exact,that took the time
to take apart a Jacobs coil. And low and behold,what did they find? A GM
coil! That's right,an GM OEM coil,that you could get for about $30.00! And
all Jacobs did was put it in a fancy case,and pour epoxy resin around it,and
sell it to the unsuspecting public.

I think if you HAVE to spend your money on an ignition system,buy MSD. Their
ignition systems work. But as I said earlier,you more than likely don't need
an ignition upgrade yet.
Save your money for better things.
