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!
Researched till me eyes bleed,purchased a 75MY Permatune,they are very reliable units and last well,the Bosch units are generally less that way,teamed mine up with Pertronix II system and then found the pertronix coil for that CDI won't give optimum performance,purchased a NOS Permatune transformer coil off ebay for a song ...these are expensive if you don't shop well.
My car on carbs starts straight up and runs really nice,think I have the ignition pretty well covered,however without Bob @ashlocktech I way totally uneducated,Pertronix don't really supply the right installation instructions...oh by the way buy good leads,Clewitt make the best IMO.
Good luck.
