111 113 108 109 114 Gas Engine Electronic Ignition Upgrade Kit

Fits the following, All Ponton, 110, 111, 112, 113, 108, 109, 114 and 107 chassis prior to 1973 with point ignition. This includes 4, 6, and 8 cylinder gas engined cars. I believe that installing the Crane Electronic Ignition in your pre 1973 Mercedes Benz is absolutely the best upgrade you can make to your old classic. Elimination of the contact breaker points is the key to this modification. In its place Crane uses a optical trigger with a light beam that is broken by a rotor that has small slits in it. There are no points to burn, wobble, corrode or adjust. Along with the optical trigger an electronic ignition module is used to boost the intensity of the spark across the sparkplug electrode. You will be amazed at just how well this unit works.

Here are the advantages of installing the Crane XR700

• Faster starts in the morning thus saving battery and starter
• Smoother idle and cleaner fuel burn producing less smoke
• No more constant fouling of spark plugs
• More power and faster acceleration
• Better fuel economy
• Easier starts after long storage (no points to corrode)
• Loose distributor bearings do not affect performance
• Easy to change back to original points if need be

When you consider all these advantages it is pretty hard to argue for any reason why not to do it, especially when you consider the moderate costs involved. The unit does come with complete instructions and adapters to install in a variety of old car makes. This means Cranes instructions are lengthy and may overlap to cover all the different styles of distributors on the market. It may be confusing to determine just what procedure you need for your Mercedes. My manual is written to supplements Cranes XR700 instructions and is specific to Mercedes Benz. These instructions will eliminate trial and error and greatly speed up the installation process. Just follow along step by step and you will be done in less than 2 hours.
