new ignition system.... Options

[scottb]

OK, first question.... I have a stock 1973 2.0L. I hate setting point gap even more than warm beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) . Suggestions or recommendations on an upgraded system would be most appreciated. For now the car is going to be strictly street, no AX or other until the wife is certain I will not kill myself in the new toy.

Thanks,

Scott

I had a Crane (predecessor to the latest one mentioned above) and it worked incredibly well and is an extremely durrable unit (someone mounted mine to the actual engine sheet metal but I suggest mounting it to the firewall where there's less vibration). I understand there are only few modifications one can do to performance wise on a stock FI setup and this is one of the first things I would recommend, (aside from a smaller Momo or Fitipauldi steering wheel and koni shocks, albeit I liked my oil shocks better than the newer gas type as well as 195 Pirellis although my Yokahomas were OK too but too sticky, I enjoyed the extra slide the pirellis provided, most want sticky though ). Anyways, I loved my Crane, install it and forget about it, the little plastic rotor for the optical seemed to last forever too =). These electronic ignitions are a great upgrade to the 14, especially if the cam lobes are worn and the dwell is too out of whack requiring a smaller gab that burns points faster too. Many benefits, and I know Crane worked awesomely for me.
