Yep,JK is just kidding. I wouldn't want to try it. Probably catch on fire. It has a 1934 patent date. It is pretty cool looking. I wonder if a lot of people tried it back in the day. If it worked, it would probably just give you a hotter spark. I'm not sure where it goes in the ignition system. Not that it matters much, but it could be either be plugged into the top of the coil or the other end of the coil wire on top of the distributor. I see Stromberg makes an electronic ignition for Ford flathead V8s, that looks like a points distributor. https://www.stromberg-97.com/distributors/e-fire-2-bolt-6v-positive/
