Shovel ignition conversion
 

Sure this bridge has been crossed before so I'm asking for input here. What's the dope on electronic ignition swaps into shovels...preferences, warnings, single fire vs dual fire...yadda, yadda, yadda....
I'm primarily interested in getting away from points for reliability reasons, moisture, wear, etc...

RE: Shovel ignition conversion
 

There are many aftermarket electronic ignition modules for your shovel. ANY of them are better than points. The only one I recommend staying away from is the Dyna "S" ignition. Some of the ignitions systems retain your mechanical advance weights and others use an electronic advance built in.

I prefer the single fire ignitions but they are a little more costly. Crane HI-4 is pretty easy to install and setup and can be purchased as a kit with single fire coil.

An inexpensive and simple to setup ignition is the twin power from bikers choice. It can run single or dual fire and retains the mechanical advance weights.
