Welcome to the group Lew.  Send me an email address and I'll mail you the write up.  I installed the Crane system last year in my 1970 280SL.  What's the problem?  Maybe I can help.

Thanks for the fast response.

After install I have no spark. The only thing I did to the system is disconnected the ignition box under the battery like the instructions stated. Doing this there is no power to #15 at the coil. Tried a jumper at the harness and still no luck.

Thanks,

Lew

Hi Lew,

Do you have +12 V from the ignition switch connected to the .6 ohm balast resistor? Do you have a connection from #15 coil terminal to the other side of this ballast resistor?

Give me your email address and I'll send the write up.
