I'm attempting to install a Crane XR700 ignition module in a 1979 Spitfire
1500. The DPO had installed a Pirhana ignition many years ago, and I wasn't
getting any spark.
I'm getting battery voltage at the coil with the ignition switch in the ON
position (engine off). Shouldn't I get much less? (like six to nine volts?)
My Bentley Bible predicts (it never seems to tell you for sure!) that
resistance wire is used rather than a ballast resistor. I see the wire
leaving the starter solenoid relay, but it never ends up near the coil. I can't
find any cut ends either.
Since I don't want to blow out the new ignition, could someone tell me what
voltage to expect on the + side of the coil, both key on and start? I wont
actually run the thing till I get some answers....
I'll be under the dash, waiting for your message. Thanks!
