Well, I finally put an electronic ignition in the stroker. I used the XR3000 
from Crane. I was thinking along the 
lines Fred Katman does for the longest time-points is better. I had tried a 
Petronix unit and really did not care 
for it. I had used an XR700 in my Z for years until it suddenly died leaving me 
stranded. I did end up putting 
one back in the Z with no problems so far. I remember Datsun Mike talking about 
the XR3000 so I read up 
on it and ordered one last week. Piece of cake to install, completely removed 
the resistor and put a Blaster2 
coil in for added spark Crane recommends their P591 E-Core performance coil but 
I had the Blaster lying 
around.  She starts right up and runs as smooth as it did with the points. 
Drives just as smooth too.  I did put 
all the parts I removed in the XR3000 box just in case. I will keep the box in 
the trunk for easy access. I hate 
it when a car won't start especially when you have electronic ignition.
