Jacobs describes normal physics as applying only to them. Their box is
nothing special. It does not have any special circuit like as seen in
recent SAE papers on monitoring spark ionization current. It is a neat idea.

This is available now in the aftermarket from J&S. I use their box with
Bosch sensor. It can retard each cylinder selectively and you end up
with separate timing curves for ea cylinder. Or it can retard all the 
same.
