I prefer the crane for a pagoda. It is optical. No problems with getting the right unit like some have with the pertronix. Along with the red coil use I have opened the gaps some. Have not used this on the w114 chassis, but I imagine the same results will be obtained.

Just hide the Crane unit under something.

Remember though, if the pertronix or crane fails you are walking home, whereas with the original equipment, you can fuss around and quickly get it working again. I am tired of fussing though, and the walk home will probably do me good if it ever comes to it.
