Does the Crane ignition do away with the points?
Either way, it sounds like the Crane ignition is overheating.
The 1st thing I would do is check the voltage feeding the ignition. If it is greater than about 14.2volts at a normal cruising RPM (2500 to 3000) you will have found the probable cause. If you still have the electro-mechanical voltage regulator you may be able to adjust it. If you have converted to a modern self regulated alternator then you will probably have to add a drop resistor (ballast resistor)to the power lead to the Crane ignition. Hope this helps!!
