Same Old Question - Crane XR700

[cxzsaq]

Sorry for the old question - but just want to make sure im getting the right model...

I have a 72tii - vacuum-less distributor.

Is this the model i need:

Crane 700-0292 XR700

Thanks. Have a pleasant weekend.

Thanks Justin for your suggestion!

Yep... That'll work.

You want to use the #220 shutter wheel (marking on the side).

Be sure you're at TDC when setting it up and that the shutter opening is just coming to the sensor.

Cheers!

thank you.

One last question, do you think I need to also upgrade the coil? I have a stock black. Thanks.

Possibly... the Crane does need some resistance to work properly.

If a late model, you have a resistance wire, if early, you may need to keep the ballast resistor.

See the Crane instructions here: Crane XR700 Installation

Cheers!

Thank you. It's a 72tii.

In that case, I will just update with the xr700 and maybe get the red coil later.

Thank you again

My reply was not a Blanket YES.

READ the instructions. You may need to measure the resistance currently at the coil to be sure you're within limits.

These are 30+ y.o. cars and who knows what mods or errors exist.

If not enough resistance, the Crane Box will burn up!

The Crane is a good system, once setup properly, you'll really like it. Set it up wrong and you'll wish you'd stayed with points.

Cheers!

Sorry, my reply was misleading. I'll check resistance but was thinking of getting the red coil (and resistors) just in case. I did some searches on the forum and fell that it's still, as you said an "individual" issue because of the age of the cars and their po's wild wiring skills.

Thanks again for your help, I appreciate it much.
