it actually currently has a points style ignition[:@], and am wanting to upgrade....whats the better one? single fire, dual fire..etc???

i'm just wanting reliablity, thanks alot

 

Are you sure about the points? Mines a 98 and it's electronic from the factory. Here is a good read about ignition modules, about 3/4 of the way down the page.

Forgot to mention that I'm going to my HD dealer today and putting a SE ignition module on order......winter mods, woohoo.

 

yeah, someone changed the thing over to a points style ignition....i have no idea why?[&o]

 

I have a 98 wide glide with SE electronic ignition. Ignition went out and had my custom cycle shop (not a Harley dealer) install what he recommended. A Daytona Twin Tech ignition, which can be used as single fire or dual fire by changing the coil. According to who's definition you useof a single fire or dual fire, I kept mine as original from the factory, both plugs firing on power and exhaust stroke. Motor runs smoother and crisper especially at low and midrange rpm.

 

DTT or Crane HI-4, I like the crane.

 

I've got a question along the same lines as this thread and rather than starting a new thread I'll see what happens here first...

I've got a stock engine '98 FXDS-Conv. that I'm going through this winter. I'll be adding EV27 cam, porting the heads, adding a K&N air filter, and upgrading the ignition module.

Now the question... SE or Dyno 2000 ignition?

 

theres a few guys here that switched to points, figured they could fix it on the side of the road. i have stock harley ing. on my 90 fxstc and never have had a problem. but then all i have is a cam milled heads and a S&S super E carb.

 

Crane Hi4 single fire ignition. 90/90 hp/tq and 50,000 miles later.....

 

1996 Dyna Wide Glide with an 80" EVO

 

I have tried them all SE, programablesthe best that I have found is the Crane single fire you have allot of options. You can set it upas a dual or single, retard or advance the timming depending on if you are having problems with detonation. I have 3 Evo's two are strokers and all have a Crane and run great.
