if power was fed to the purple wire, would that have fried the ignition module ?
It still has sparks on both cylinders, just not at the right time.
It is an S&S module, and the red light does not come on anywhere near the T:F mark.

 

voes is a ground circuit on all of the ignitions and putting 12 volts to it could eff it up sure

But remove it and make sure the pin detent is in the cams slot correctly

 

I'm really hoping someone didn't remove the generator style distributor from the motor and then put it back incorrectly. I wish I had noticed beforehand that all the ignition wires were hooked up incorrectly, before I put a new battery in it.

The only way I can think of to determine power stroke on the TF mark is to lift push rod tubes and watch the lifters ? Btw, all lifter/push rods had slight drag and no slack at the lowest points.

It is a 93" alt/gen shovel. 3" open belt, fx 4sp kick only. S&S.

 

The index on the timing cup was very close to one O'clock (slightly less).
I couldn't get the brass screw loose, so I left it alone.
The module was a 1241, but now replacement is 1300 series.
I should be able to use the same cup ? Yes/No ?

I think I read somewhere that S&S recommends timing it as the TF : is leaving the hole to the left ?

 

in my shop we only replace the ignitions with the ultima type - it a good unit has all the belles and is inexpensive - the coils in the kit are iffy so we buy a dyna coil

sorry but i have no help with the S&S ignition to give
