So I went to take the car for a drive a few days ago and it wouldn't start. This is the first time it's let me down since I owned it! Turns out I have no spark. I have power to the coil. I am running the Crane Cams optical system and it seems that it has failed and is no longer triggering the spark. Has anyone had problems with this system in the past?
What is the general consensus on electronic ignitions these days? I really liked the Crane Cams system but the company just recently closed its doors. The Pertronix system always made me nervous with the whole leaving the ignition on. I run carbs and sometimes the car stalls when it's cold and I have run inside. I don't want it frying my ignition. |
