We are having unseasonably hot weather here. Doug and I headed for the autocross yesterday and while the oil temp and head temps were within reason, that engine bay was too hot to touch. And then no spark. Has happened before. I think the failure point was the photodetector for the Crane Fireball ignition module.
I have had enough. It is either points or something electronic I can trust. I generally carry a spare dizzy, but it was at home yesterday... So - can anyone point me to the most reliable system? I am not wild about changing points, so I would prefer something electronic. Thanks again Brain Trust! |
