ignition upgrade on panhead
I would like to upgrade the ignition and replace the points and condenser for a more reliable and achieve a increase in performance. What ignition and coils would you suggest? 56 panhead with what I believe is a mostly stock panhead engine. Does it effect performance to change from dual fire to single fire?

You might consider checking this system out. Folks that use it seem to swear by it. Drop in unit...

The ebeyond is fantastic- have one on my '53
I was having problems with the points pitting due to: unstable voltage, using the old point shunt poor quality condensor the ebeyond fixed that, drops in, no visible signs of change works on 6 or 12 volt Mike |

From 6 volt to 12 volt. Not to mention brighter lights and easier to find light bulbs. Hope this helps ya.

I'm looking for the upgrade for my 32E but Wendy says they are out. Maybe 6 months....maybe a year.
Do you know of a source? Sorry for jumping in the thread The down side... it is definitely more expensive that the e-beyound system. I am using Perry's system on my 49 EL and using a voltage reducer on certain components in order to give the appearance of a stock machine. The down side...it is not cheap and definitely more expensive than the e-beyond. Why the 6-12 month delay? |

Other than e-beyond, there is Perry Ruiter out of Canada. He does 12 volt conversions of the 32-evil to a 12 volt system that almost masks the conversion. Requires a voltage regulator that take the place of and looks like the old cut-out relay. Adds one additional wire that unless you are an AMCA nut no one will notice,

Thanks for your help. |
Here's a pic of the ebeyond 2000.
Flawless- i only wish he made one for my Trail 90 It's only a sensor, the advance is still manual http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/o...esNewStuff.jpg Mike |

Here is email for Perry Ruiter perry@ruiter.ca
You can drop my name, Dave Newman of Kali. He does a lot of conversions and probably will not remember me but I am very satisfied with his work. |
