There are lots of different brands out there but what is the best. I use ICE on my motor but i see alot of guys run MSD.

The best is only dictated by how full your pocket is!

msd 6a/6al/7al and the new crane programable are used in some very fast cars so I think most top name stuff once setup will do the job on anything that will see mainly street duties!

My best mate is running the new crane dizzy hooked up to a wolf efi on top of a blown injected 351 4V in his xa coupe without any dramas and this animal sees true street miles. He just drove it 3000 odd kays in a powertour in the states.

How much are those new crane dizzys. They look very trick. You can adjust the advance curve on the side of them cant you.

bout 1k from memory and yes advance both mech curve and total and vac can be adjusted to suit low vac engines from what I can recall

A Crane Dizzy is a little cheaper than a grand - priced one last week from Tony at A.S.A.P. (www.buy-asap.com). Quoted $548 , pretty competitive against an MSD unit with better features.

Long live the good old stock Bosch! Bit fussy to tune compared to others but still OK.

I know a very competent engine builder who just installed a Crane dizzy & Fireball unit etc on a 351 & whilst it ran allright he did comment that he was disapointed with the adjustment available on the dizzy.

Not sure if he was referring to the total amount or the increments or base setting to total advance

Do you think you could find out a bit more why he thought they were disappointing?I had kinda talked a mate into getting one of these units!!!(i'll be up the creek if it's crap!!!) and he's going to order one monday morning - any info would be appreciated.

Yeah i would like to know too. As i was looking to buy one to replace my ICE.

I have an MSD ready to run and after about 5000km of street driving, I cant get the whine out of it.
