Jeff:
I installed the Crane system on my car in 1992. It works great and the car
starts easier and  runs better. Had I known about the ignitor setup, I
probably would have gone that route.
I'm not real keen on the optical eye  and really would like a hall effect
sensor or the like.
But, as I say, the Crane gets the job done and no more pesky points~
Installation was straight forward- I only broke a couple of rotors until I got
the optical sensor set just right.
