- I don't recall if this was covered in the previous discussion of the Crane electronic ignition. I just installed one on my 66 Midget and it seems that the car will run perfectly for 5 minutes and the

- This is a typical semiconductor symptom. It sounds like the drive transistor is semi-fried and internal heating during operation is causing it to malfunction. Return the unit for a replacement. This

- Gentle people, I can't stand itany longer. Haven't you folks figured out that you're adding an unnecessary complexity to these cars by installing an electronic ignition? If you would take the money t

- Not really Bill, When I bought my B the mechanical advance mechanism was frozen, and the vacuum diaprhagm was leaking. The bushings were in good shape as were the springs, etc. I fixed all that stuff

- Crank it up again and when it quits, test the module according to the troubleshooting instructions. Do you have a spare coil? Charley Robinson <ccrobins@ktc.com>

- Is the module securely mounted to a very large clean piece of metal somewhere (firewall or fender)? It needs to sink heat away from it to stay cool, that's why it's in that finned box. Conducting hea

- You have a point, Bill. Probably two in your car, too. But, if points are just a trigger mechanism, then going from mechanical to solid state actually _decreases_ complexity. Fewer moving parts, no w

- I am reasonably sure that the XR-700 is *NOT* a capacitive discharge unit. I beleive there is a Crane unit that is, but the 700 is not it. -- Trevor Boicey Ottawa, Canada tboicey@brit.ca http://www.b
