Hi All –
I am looking for some opinions on drop in points replacements for a -6. I am running an MSD 6A, will also be using their coil. I spoke to them on the phone just now and they simply say normal points or any points replacement will work fine – they would not give any reccomendations.

Not trying to sell the Crane by any means, just setting the record straight.
I have the Crane set to work with just what you see in my first post with no external box. Simple 3 wire hookup , 2 for the points and 1 for switched power. Sorry for any misunderstandings cheers |

Sorry for any misunderstandings cheers Not trying to stir the pot.. but Elmonte what converts the signal on your crane from an optical? I thought that ALL optical sensors went from the sender in the distributor to a crane box and then to the coil brant |
