Default Jacobs Electronics Fire Control 2000 Ignition ?

I am considering this ignition for my 70 BB. Have any of you out there had any experience with this igntion? If so what are your likes and dislikes? It certainly seems cost friendly, you can get one with a rev limiter for under 200 clams.

Crane makes and excellent digital box with rev limiter for $140, I have one in my Formula and Gordonm is running one in his 72 vette.

Check it out:

It states up to 9.5 comp but I am running 9.75 and I think Gordonm is running about 11 with his LT1 short block and AFR heads.

How long have you guys been running this box? Also what type of distributor, HEI, magnetic, or LED pickup?

Over a year, I have EFI in my formula and it plugged into my harness, check with Gordonm (believe that is his screen name spelling) I think he has been running his for 5+ years.
