CRANE Ignitions
 
Does anyone know anyone that has any Crane HI-6M Marine Ignitions or know where I can get any?? Does Crane Cams USA stock any still?

My Crane rep here in Australia tells me that they are no longer available on their system so he can't order me one in.

Does anyone have any still stocked on a dusty shelf somewhere I can try and get a hold of? Or are these things now Hens Teeth?

I am in URGENT need of a pair of them so I need to exhaust all avenues before I look to change systems bit if I am forced to, what would be the best replacements for a race application?

I do not think they are making the Hi 6M anymore. Pretty sure they quit making it when the new ownership took over.
You could use one of the other Hi 6 ignitions, but would not have the switchable timing curves and the curve would have to be built into the distributor.

So no one has any old stock still?

I'd do the ring around and ask but 99% of the big sellers (CP etc) are members on here so I thought it might be worth a shot, that and long distance calls with our timezone difference would confuse the heck out of me!

Yeh I saw them too. Kicking myself for not grabbing them but the boat was running fine when they were up!

I'm scared to death of MSD, i've read more good than bad and I really like the built it switchable curve dial rather than the MSD set up. I suppose a reason why I might read so much bad about the MSD is because there are so many out there but I still don't trust them! We'd run HI-6Ns but the curve is regulated by the distributor instead and we'd rather avoid the stuffing around to get them matched when they were running so well before!

Degree them and adjust the timing on all the tabs. Also made spares for each system we have installed.

Mate, you're a legend. I'll PM you my details, If you take PayPal, you can send me an invoice or payment details.
Cheers!:drink:

fastlane40 04-13-2011 04:25 PM

Vegashallett you're an absolute champion.You too John for tracking this down.

VegasHallett 04-14-2011 12:02 PM

I'll get the box today and tomorrow I'll get you a price on shipping. I'll do pay pal but you pay the % charge and stuff..

btw, I'm kinda worried about the over seas shipping and pay pal.. I don't want to be burned if something happens and I dont get my money or product back.

johnlomant 04-14-2011 01:21 PM

I need one asap in Atlanta GA

johnlomant 04-14-2011 01:21 PM

ill pay $350 for it

Ghostrider 04-14-2011 04:08 PM

Really ‘johnlomant’? REALLY?
That is possibly the most rude, ignorant and (in Australian colloquial terms) Jack thing I have read on these posts EVER.

I have 3 posts running asking for one of these. You have tried to hijack 2 out of 3 now to STEAL what has been offered to me by VegasHallett.

Seriously, there are forms of rules and etiquette on OSO forums. Might I suggest you consider enquiring elsewhere please? I do not wish to start an argument with you, I merely wish for you to desist.

fastlane40 04-14-2011 04:11 PM

Johnlomont i see Ghosty beat me.I wouldn't have been as polite as he.
Vegashallet we are an offshore race team that need one urgently.If you can sort the deal with Ghostrider(john)upon smooth delivery John will organise you a team shirt.

Thanks mate, happy to pay the paypal costs etc, you just let me know the total.
I've never had any problems with USPS. I have had more issues with UPS and Fedex for some reason but never USPS. The USPS system allows for global tracking via the consignement number so I always know where the package is and once it lands here, Australia Post have a responsibility to ensure its delivery or they are liable, not USPS or the sender.
Please just let me know when you have a total you'll be happy with and I'll transfer payment ASAP.
Cheers,
John

VegasHallett 04-15-2011 07:57 AM

Send me your shipping info. I have it with me and will tell you the shipping costs later today. I don't think we do usps from work.. is that the only way that works?

Or, I'll go to the post office after work and tell you later today around 5pm PST..

I'm a man of my word and I will sell it to you for the price I said.. However, a couple of race team shirts would be awesome. I'm and XL and my bro is an XXL..
