I understand you're being a little tired
of having to replace, set dwell and adjust
timing periodically, when an electronic
conversion basically eliminates this
chore.
The good thing about points is that when
the system needs attention, it usually
warns you by a progressive fall-off in
performance. An electronic conversion
is usually "on" or "off" in terms of failure...
usually no warning.
And of course, don't forget the dizzy needs a few drops of oil every now
and
then!
The forgoing having been said, I've used
Crane "700" and "3000" units up until a
couple of years ago, when I went the
"self-contained" PerTronix.
No problems. Both Crane units and
current PerTronix work(ed) just fine.
As to coils, I used all sorts of
coils with the Crane's, except for the
Lucas Sport Coil which is supposedly
not Crane-compatible.
Today, I use the manufacturer's "matching" coil (in the case of my
current PerTronix), strictly for it's
known compatibility with the ignition
module.
