Hello Jeff,

There is no need to use the Crane or Ignitor units with an MSD box. All 
the MSD needs is a trigger source, which can be the stock points, which 
will run a long time as they will not be switching any current.  The 
more elegant method is to use a magnetic pickup assembly (e.g. Chrysler 
6-cylinder reluctor & coil) adapted to the Corvair distributor.  The MSD 
will work with the stock coil, but I like the Blaster 2 coil for this 
and also as a stock replacement.
