sorry, had to edit that so that I could read it. properly spelled words, a little punctuation, and showing you have a little respect for yourself by capitalizing I goes a long way around here.

as far as your issue goes, I've never used a crane ignition system and I can't think of anyone around here that has off the top of my head either.

If the Crane is anything like the MSD, the light flashes every time it fires.

I thought the Crane and MSD unit are the same, only the Crane is solid state?

Could be wrong, seem to remember Terry saying something to that effect.

Sounds like User error on install. I have never had any problems with my Crane ignition. If you dont know how to install or what wires go where or even how to set up the rev limiters you probably should download the installation manual.

If its installed correctly then your retard unit could be faulty. But that is doubtful.

Well, I am pretty sure its hooked up right.. At low rpms it kinda just lights up then goes away but the engine has 40lb injectors and im tuning blind with an safc, and it sounds like the plugs file everytime i get into 3000 4000 rpm or throttle goes past 45 %
