1340 ignition options 1989 FLTCU
The black box module is only replaceable with original equipment that may or may not be functional
later model boxes may work as long as wire colors match and you dont mind custom connectors. So what are my aftermarket ignition options that might eliminate the black box and provide a new cam case module. If its a single fire kit it should include everything
dual fire preferred since that what the moco provided. Parts numbers too please
I am now aware of the Ultima 53-636 seems complete if pricey. Any others you know appreciated!

I'd start here -

When I owned my 1989 Electraglide, I bought coils to match the Dyna ignition.

I am running the Dyna 2000i on my `89 Softail, it is still set up for single fire dual fire using the OEM ignition coil.
Thanks Rufus for the correction.

The old black box will go into the scrap bin, no matter what system you buy.

The only connectors are at the module-to-cam sensor on the stock system, everywhere else is a terminal. On an aftermarket nose cone unit, the wires will connect at the coil with exception of the 1 voes connection, and it's a spade terminal.
Be careful what you buy, some require mechanical advance weight units. These are the most common fully electronic units:
Dyna D2000i
Ultima 53-644
S&S Hi-4N
Daytona Twin Tech 1005

I got a single fire kit with coil ordered. Its an Ultima, and I am aware they have aggressive curves, but if the mildest one is too hot I can program other one using dyna curves since its essentially the same module , I think.

Carry a spare stock coil with you at all times. The ones included in the kits have a very bad rep for longevity.
