Today, I tried to fire up my newly rebuilt engine. I found that my Crane
xr700 unit had given up the ghost. Fortunately, I found an old set of points
and
the car fired right up. Now I have a delima. Do I spend $130.00 on a new
Crane unit, or $10.00 for a new points/condenser? As far as I know, my
distributor is healthy. I never had any trouble with the points set up before,
and I
can't say I recognized a performance improvement with the Crane set up. I
know this has been beaten to death, but on a warmed over street engine, is
there
a noticeable performance improvement with the Crane and a sport coil? Is
reliability enhanced significantly? I'm fiddling with the car constanttly, so
I
don't mind the maintanance associated with the points
