It works
Slightly expensive, but the product is very neat and tidy, installs clean and is one of the few remaining options. Comes with a fresh grommet on the wire bundle, which is nice. Relies on the mechanical advance. Timing is fairly straight forward using the instructions on the site and the pickups have a good degree of adjustment to get it dead on.
