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 |

It's pretty tough to beat an MSD setup (IMO).
I doubt the Electromotive offers any performance advantage over the MSD. On the contrary, the Electro. set up doesn't provide as much spark as the MSD. The latest things from MDS provide about all the features of the EM set up at less than half the price.....unless your going twin plug, then the MSD becomes more expensive (near as I can figure).....mostly due to the dizzy requirements. |
