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 |

Tim,
The crank trigger setups from Electromotive use a toothed plate that mounts on the front pulley. Most of the knock off systems use the same thing. Mike Mueller will pipe in and give us the hyperlink to a company who just released a new crank triggered system that should work great. It is programmable. We run the Electromotive on 2 of our race cars. One is twin plug and the other is single plug. They work very well. The new system uses the same GM coil packs that Electromotive uses (inexpensive). Clewitt makes some very nice stuff and sells complete crank triggered kits. B |
