Well I managed to get over to my van and the "do-hickey" is made by Crane
Cams. DuOh what else could it be! Its entirely disconnected and there are
points in the distributor. However the condenser (looks like) is mounted on
the outside of the distributor.
As screwed up as everything in this van is I feel it necessary to check
every vital part to make sure it is correct. How will I know if this is the
correct distributor (.009)? Also new Crane ignitions are about twice as
expensive as the Petronix igniter. Crane uses optics, Petronix looks like it
uses mechanical. Which would be best?
