been looking around for easy install elec ignition for a15.
Found the crane cam xr700 and xr3000, just woncering if anybody has used these, to me it seems like it should work but there are a few different types im not sure which one will suit? Any help appriciated thanks

I've used the xr700 quite a few times on a series engines, works well.

just a universal one?

Yeah it's a bit of fiddling round to get the optical sensor and chopper wheel thing to sit right but it not that hard.

Ive had a crane electronic ignition on my A12 ute for ages. It's great, cold starts are easier and you never have to adjust points :)

From memory i think with the 700 you keep your old coil and ballast resistor and with the 3000 you need a new proper 12V coil and no ballast resistor. Go the one with no ballast resistor.

Hot4s mag did a review on one of these years ago. KW at the wheels went from 23 to 27 or something like that. Sounds small but thats nearly a 20% gain.

Cheers

Installation is pretty straight forward. Make sure crank is at TDC, strip out points etc, mount optical pickup where points were, put 4 cyl chopper wheel on distributor shaft. Thats about it.

thanks for the info! What do you mean a 'proper' 12v coil? Haha

heh. "Proper" as in not a dodgy old school coil that needs a ballast resistor and that doesn't throw out enough spark to light up a matchbox. Get the nice shiny silver Crane Coil, and not only does it look good, but throws enough spark to blow your arm off....
