Advise on Ultima Ignition Install
Brand new Ultima 2000i came in the mail today and I'm little kid excited. Im putting it in this weekend. Any advise or is it pretty straight forward if I follow the directions. Solder and heat-shrink right? Did I mention I'm really excited.

Set the module by the timing method Ultima recommends, uses a crankshaft timing mark and rotate the plate until a light comes on, gives plenty of flexability with the advance settings.
Set your advance at 1 and check for detonation at 45-55 mph throttle roll on in 4th and 5th gear and move towards 4 until detonation goes away, 1 will probaly work with a stock engine.
One more thing, if the bolt that holds the timing rotor on the cam doesn't have a thread locker on it, put some on it.

Let me know if you need a programming cable to run Curvemaker software. http://www.dynaonline.com/skins/downloads/Default.aspx
I can loan you a USB to ignition cable for your laptop.

I'm interested in those pin outs if you don't mind. Pretty sure I still have DB9s and the kits somewhere.
Thanks

I used heat shrink up to right where the wires attach to the ignition. For me, it was easier to pull wires through the nose cone and leave a loop unpulled. I then mounted the ignition with the standoffs and did the timing procedure. After tightening down the ignition, I pulled the wires all the way through and tucked them under the ignition a little.

My programming cable is USB to ignition. Most new laptops don't have a DB9 connector.
