Hi Hans,
Which Crane system are you using? The XR700 is made for the original 6V
(ballasted) coil. The XR3000 is made for a 12V coil like the Lucas Sport.
The '79 Spitfire has a resistor wire rather than a ballast resistor. If
you go to the Sport Coil you must run your own wire to the coil.
FYI I'm using the Crane PS20 coil (6V). No problems so far. That was a
direct swap for the old original Lucas coil.
