 So you're saying that any spark will do, voltage ** Plug Gap** and duration
 have no effect.  Say what???  With the variables that we all see from our
 digifant FI, which is often providing a marginal mixture, you think that a
 bigger, hotter spark wouldn't fire some of those marginal charges that might
 otherwise misfire?  Think about it.


 Our Vanagon is quicker.  My butt does not lie.

 New Bosch plug wires, cap and rotor, 3 prong (part #W7DTC) Bosch spark plugs
will  perform just as good or better than Jacobs ignition. By replacing with
Jacobs ignition you most likely just repaired a problem that would have been
fixed with the Bosch parts.  Note: racing engines use stock ignition parts.
