Anyone run the Automotive Crane HI-6 box?
they dont make marine version anymore, and looking for something that works with a mercruiser hall effect distributor. Does the auto hi-6 crane work and have any of you run it?

The hall effect will work but the rotor needs to be removed, redrilled and re-phased to work with the Crane box. I talked to Crane @ SEMA show - they do not plan to make this box any more

at 3500 rpm's..make sure you do this first then you can play with the springs on the water to see what your engine likes..I think i have my sbc set with the 1 blue and one silver (small) springs
Edit
FYI, when timing your engine you can not use a digital advance timing light with msd when checking your total advance..you can use a standard dial timing light..
