I bought it from Alex (Shepherd79).

I was confused with the instructions b/c they were just confusing, but then after awhile I looked at it differently and man they were really easy instructions. After I figured it out with the help of Alex mainly confirming the fact that I'm not the greatest with electrical things. But I installed it in under 30 minutes and I even cleaned my connections at my Accel Super Stock Coil. Unfortunately I had to rip off my DELTACAM sticker against my firewall to mount the Digital Crane unit. It's all good b/c my idle is so so so much smoother and the power increase is definately worth the money. It has a rev limiter built into the unit as well so that's a bonus and it can have an optional timing retard/advance controler that you can control while your sitting in your seat :)

That' about $130 for that controler so it will be awhile before I get it. It seemed to give an extra punch throughout the gears so that was well worth it. Now I just need to upgrade my fuel pump and get the efi conversion done and I will have a pretty damn good car.

I will take pics probably tomorrow b/c I have to get ready for work. But I just figured I would let everyone know my newest mod. Oh and I still can't believe how good the idle is considering my cam grind and since the motor is carbed. Just smooth like FI ( :) something to look forward to :) )

:cool: hey this reminds me! I will have a MSD 6a ignition box left over from my RX7 once the LS1 swap is done. I can use it on the accord, I didnt even think about doing that. :cool: stuff

yeah its a 88 FC (2nd gen). It actually has a chevy 350 and powerglide in it now. I came across a deal on a LS1/T56 that I couldnt pass up, its being shipped to me as we speak :cool:

My SCI gave a good bump in power and a smooth idle. Great to hear the Crane is doing the job!

Yeah I'm going to solder in a resistor tomorrow just for peace of mind that my tachs won't act up. I think I'm going to set the rev limiter to 6,000 RPMs. I've been thinking if I get that timing controler I won't have any use for my brand new adjustable cam gear that hasn't been installed.... So maybe that will be for sale soon after I think about it. I mean if I can control the timing from the seat I won't need an adjustable cam gear would I?

The ignition adjusts ignition timing, the point at which the spark plugs fire. The cam gear adjust cam timing, the point at which the valves open and close. They are 2 different things.

Oh ok I guess I'm keeping the rare blue cam gear then :)
