123 distributor 120-130

So...........added to the mix is my new 123 distributor. Advertisements show this thing to run perfectly smooth, even goes to show a running timing scenario where it is smoother than the stock Bosch, so why does mine jump all over the place with the timing light? Could this thing really be responsive to the power stroke of the engine? I don't see how, it is not connected in any way and I don't think it has mechanical telepathy to ascertain information regarding the same. I think the stock Bosch is where I'm headed next, anyone want a 123 at a discounted price?
Cam, if your reading this please jump in with your own confirmation of the erratic experience you had as well.
