Help!! Installing Crane XR-700, Bosch Module? Options

[wrpspddrvr]

WTF is the "Bosche module"? For step #3 on page 10 (ignition module installation), it says to "disconnect and remove the OE Bosch module." What is that?

I have a feeling this thing isn't going to work. I don't think the optical trigger and the shutter are set up right (my fault). I wasn't able to fit the rotor back on over the #220 shutter the diretions said to use for Bosch 4-cyl distributors, so I used the #219. It seems to fit the rotor shaft okay, but getting it to fit the optical trigger is another story. It's always either too far down or too high up on the shaft. We shall see. As soon as I figure out this f'ing module thing, I'll get on with the rest of the install, and once the time comes, we'll see if it works.

I have a feeling this is going to turn into a week-long project.....


Thanks in advance!

that's the part of the instructions where they're talking about installing the spark box - not the distributor points-replacement module. that's on page 2.

i can't help you with the shutter wheel selection 'cause i did this to a 6 cylinder car and it was really easy to tell which one to use. with the right shutterwheel installed to the correct depth the slot in the emitter/detector block does wind up in the right place.

i had trouble fitting the mount parts, but part of that was overcoming my preconceived notion of how the parts "ought to" fit. i did have to trim the breaker-plat bracket part a bit and i couldn't mount it where i wanted because the cap latch interferes. and i don't think those are 4-cylinder installation issues anyway ...
