RJ;

D-Jetronic is the Injection system...Crane, Pertronix, are IGN systems so I'll certainly second Phil's comment that there is NO reason the two won't play together...there is no interaction other than that they are under the same hood and powered by the same E-system.

...and speaking of which, the diode cable has TWO power diodes set up to route power from two sources to the load...properly called an "OR"ing circuit (because one OR the other source powers the load). Power from terminal 50 (Solenoid/Starter, powered ONLY during cranking,), OR terminal 54 (IGN power, but which is shut OFF during cranking for load shedding).

I'm in the process of finishing up a detailed write-up on the IGN switch, armored cable, and their function, including adding an ORing cable to power electronic IGN modules...I'll see if I can accelerate this a bit...see: http://www.sw-em.com/Volvo%20Ignition%20from%20Scratch.htm#Vintage%20Volvo%20Ignition%20system%20and%20the%20Armored%20Cable

Cheers
