If I am using the cr120 and cr125 caravan mod with locked distributor. Does this change the setting in the software from internal reluctor to Hall Effect or stays the same. I’m a total newbie trying to digest the process. As simple as it may seem I am clearly missing something. Power to the caravan module +12v and Accel 300+ coil. Did the 1k resistor pullup. Power at ecu. Fuel pump primes. I am lost from there. Should be a signal from negative side of caravan module to trigger wire in ecu then ignition wire to cdi then spark generates and I have fire. 😳I have no spark . Also full battery charge and on cyl 1 tdc and phased correctly. Help and guidance appreciated. Car ran previously nov 2017 E6k died and I replaced it with the E6X. To current.

The caravan module will appear like an optical trigger to the ECU with a 12V square wave which is different than most optical sensor which output a 5V square wave. That shouldn't be an issue. You could also use the factory VR pickup which uses the reluctor wiring.
It took me all of 30 seconds to pull up the old manual. https://www.haltech....dows_manual.pdf

For the CR125 if operating properly you would see battery voltage with the key on and not cranking, then as it cranks you would see less than battery voltage as the "signal" is being pulled to ground as the distributor spins, remember that battery voltage drops while cranking anyway so just seeing the voltage drop doesn't mean you have a valid signal, the signal voltage has to be less than battery voltage.

Quote;The Pertronix ignition system I am familiar with is an electronic conversion for a breaker points style distributor. This consists of a small module that attaches with 1 or 2 screws in place of the original points. There is a plastic ring that slips over the breaker cam on the distributor shaft, this ring contains some magnets. The module has 2 wires that are connected to the original points type coil, 1 wire provides 12v power to the module, the other is the negative connection for the coil. The module is grounded through the attaching screws, so a ground wire between the module / mounting plate & the distributor housing is important.
The last sentence is the answer for a cr120 pigtail with caravan igniter. I grounded the distributor now I have spark and rpm at the least. Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction. Let’s see what chapter 2 brings.
