    550 points ignition swap to electrical?

    Hi it's been a while...

    So, I've managed to find the part I was missing -which was the magnetic rotor cam ... and was also able to score from the same parts lot what looks like an electric signal generator from a GS550 probably 81-82 ... so my question is this - can I use this with the coils from the points system - and would all I have to do is get the right ignitor for this signal generator?

    or should I just stick with the points... and save up for the dyna s

    thanks in advance...I've been slowly making progress with the wiring thanks to this site.

    While it can be done, you'll find that a new ignitor (when the current one blows) will run over $400

    The Dyna is only about $130 and is good for a long time
