Worth 500 Bubba points at car shows but unless you are all out racing there is no real advantage over modern distributors that are available now.
Most race cars that run a mag don't have a battery or electrical system at all. Sprint car, fuel dragsters, funny cars. Land speed cars. If they have a battery it powers the computer setup that tells what was going on with the car during the run/race.
