I am talking all of it thought, I dont have anything to start with and I am trying to not break the bank with this so not wanting one of those 1000 dollar magnetos and what not something that is simple a little better than stock and will work will with a pretty much stock motor with andrews cams and pistons in it, looking to start with this

Twin Tec is good stuff , they developed the ignition system for the new S&S engines . Dyna is also good , pickup under the points cover with an external icm . I run a Crane Hi4 single fire , nice sound outta the pipes and everything is inside the points cover .

DYNA S baby. Was at the Daytona swap meet in '95 and picked it up new in the package complete for $75.00! Threw it on and haven't thought about it since.

Been wondering about that Crane hi 4 though. Is it really that much better??
