So my early 6 engine currently has a old crane optical ignition system. The thing is I don't like points (who does) but the opticial system isn't very well made. It feels cheap, and all in all, I'd really like to get rid of my distributor.
Is Electromotive the only other option out there? Is it worth the money? Is it hard to set up? Do you put the sensor on the crank pully or the flywheel? Thoughts? .tim |

hotrod,
there are plenty of 4's out there with electromotive. In colorado I know of 6 or so done this way. Mine looked somewhat like the above picture. one of the builders out here AJRS... (zuffenhaulen)... sets these up. He will charge about 150labor for the machine work, but I don't know how you'd do it long distance. not a bolt in thing without pulling the motor, and at least partial disassembly of the front. brant |
