Re: can u install crane HI-6 TR ignition box on2k SS in a word, no.
the reason is that 1998-up model camaro, firebird, corvette have what is called a coil on plug ignition. which means that there is one coil per cylinder with a short ignition wire connecting it to the spark plug. its a tough setup to beat. the only set-up better would be one with msd or some other kind of coils in place of the oem coils. thats the reason why most of us when upgrading ignition do no more than a set of wires and plugs. there are a few other reasons too. such as the following.
1. no direct fit system that includes new coils or any other part of the ignition(besides plugs and wires of course). well i do remember seeing a set-up by holley that costed about $3,000 in summit way back when. i'm not sure if its still available and what all it included.
2. no reason to upgrade coils when the oem coils puts out as much voltage as will ever be needed.
anyone else have anything on this?
