Hello, I bought this crane system and had a few question. It said for best results to buy a crane coil and change the spark plugs. How important are these extra steps to do? Also with electronic ignition does the spark plug gap change or stay the same?

I installed a Crane Fireball Electronic ignition years ago. I put in new plugs at the same time, no new coil. The engine has never missed on a cylinder since...

Did you have it done or did you do it yourself? Are you a mechanic? |

Did you have it done or did you do it yourself? Are you a mechanic? I put in new plugs because they had never been changed. I gap checked them to spec. I did it myself as it is very easy to do. I am not a mechanic by trade, but I am a complete gearhead by birth. I have done all my own work on my cars unless it is very complicated. |
