Upgrading the ignition of a 1200 is easily accomplished by fitting the external Crane module and installing a Crane kit inside the factory distributor, doing away with the points and condenser. Stable Timing results (except for any distributor gear lash & advance plate wear). Crane kits use an external Electronic Ignition module which may be mounted on the inner fender or firewall.

XR700

The XR700 external ignition module can drive a standard low-energy coil, and requires a ballast resistor.

700-0001 XR700 ignition module w/o trigger
715-0020 Optical Trigger Unit
700-2231 Univeral Trigger Installation Kit
  • Work with the stock Datsun 1200 coil
  • Coil short circuit protection is 7 amps
  • Use with external ballast resistor
  • Without external ballast resistor, the XR700 will overheat and fail
  • RPM range:

XR3000

The XR3000 external ignition module can drive a high-energy coil, and does not require a ballast resistor.

3000-0231 XR3000 Universal Kit
3000-0021 XR3000 Semi-kit includes trigger
3000-0001 XR3000 external module only
  • LED status for easy diagnostics
  • Uses high-output coil
  • XR3000 is high performance version of XR700
  • Coil short circuit protection is 7 amps
  • Works with stock Datsun Electronic Ignition Coil, although the Crane coils are higher energy.
