The XR700 is not capacitive discharge (CD) and DOES require a ballast when
used with a ballast-type coil.
It's all very confusing, and Crane didn't help matters by trying to make one
installation manual cover both products.
Have you tried tweaking the phasing (location of the pickup within the
distributor) ? That was the final step to get my XR3000 running properly.
(Previous step was noticing that the rotor was whacking the pickup and
switching to a rotor without a "counterweight".)
