Help needed with Crane HI-6 hook up

[ChrisZ]

Hi Guys

I'm about to install my HI-6 on my Z, anyone running one, i like to know how to hook it up, it will have to be connected to a Pertronix.

Didn't it come with instructions?

Look up the Crane website for wiring diagrams.

Hi Christian,

assuming the Pertronix Ignitor has already been installed:

1. The black wire coming from the Pertronix Ignitor goes to the white trigger cable from the Hi-6.

2. The red wire (on the same weathertight connector as the white wire) goes to the +12V coming from the ignition key. (Thats were the red wire of the Pertronix Ignitor is also connected).

3. Black (-) and orange (+) from the HI-6 are wired to the Crane coil.

4. The heavy red wire should be directly connected to the battery (+) terminal.

5. The blue wire of the Hi-6 (cylinder select) goes to ground.

6. The green wire of the Hi-6 (tacho signal) requires an electronic tacho to work, do you have a current driven (connected in line with the coil, up to late '72) or kickback driven (connected to one terminal of the coil) tacho?

Have send you the Crane Hi-6 installation manual via mail.

Best,

Adrian
