05 Chop bought from Thunderheart and it does come with software for custom programing along with the presets.

Its on thier Website Ithink the part# is 5012 not sure with out looking at the box.

Also Should there be a cap on this to keep water out?

I put a piece of tape on mine just to be on the safe side. :flag:

Crane Ignition

I'm changing to the crane HI 4 does anyone have the part#'s for this and the coil?

Got your email... replied with the PN's I had.

Thanks again Gasman. I've decided to go with the Crane Coil and Ignition Module. They make a smaller coil (8-3006) they say will fit on more applications. Hopefully I won't have to make any mods. I'll let you know..

 

[Gas Man]

Cool... keep us updated.

Just an FYI, Big Dogs don't have a VOES. On the Crane Hi 4, If you don't ground the Wire that goes to it your advance curve will be retarded. Ground the wire and it will put the module in a fast advance curve.

dogvet, according to crane they said do not ground the voes wire. They only want you to ground it when hooking up a timing light then remove it afterwords. This sound ok but tis funny that the dyna ignitions tell you the opposite

Yeah, the instructions were a bit vague about that so I tried it both ways.
If you look at the advance curves, you don't go to full advance till almost 5000 rpm.

I set my full advance on my 107 at 30 degrees since I'm running 10.5:1 compression heads and I only run premium gas (no pinging). Sucks that it costs as much now as it used to cost to fill up my car.

Had a chance to do a burnout at a friends house the other day and smoked 2 pounds of rubber off the ol back tire and no pinging at all. Plugs look good and none of that deceleration back fire out the pipes when I shut it down.

With these big motors, I'd be reluctant to run retarded timing at the higher rpm range. It's a judgement call I guess. S&S doesn't recommend using a VOES on the big engines because of the retarded timing...at least that's what I was told years ago. Retarded timing may be good to reduce pinging on bad gas, but at higher rpm, you've got unburned fuel going out the exhaust and that means you're loosing performance.

Even the Crane instructions state "If you have a passenger or are using low octane gasoline, minimum advance will reduce spark knock. Maximum advance will give higher performance but may require the use of high Octane gasoline".:zz2cents:
