    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Maybe a dumb question wondering if the very expensive black igniter box will swap out from a 80 750e to 85 700es?
 
I looked at this before... it's a different part number. (Did you buy that 750 one on Ebay recently??). Physically the connection appears to be the same. (99.9% sure it will plug in ok).

I suspect the difference is in the advance curve although between these two engines it can't be a lot of difference I would think (although the 700 does run more aggressive cams supposedly).

I also wondered if the 82/83 1100 or 1150 box would work. The 1100 box should be much easier to get hold of. Again I suspect they would but advance curve will be different.

Looking at the Dyna 2000 instructions it has a couple of 8v & 16v advance maps as standard & seems to suggest that any of them will work on the right number of valve engine but you can tailor for best power, throttle response, economy etc.

I actually am considering parting out the 80 750 that I have and thought I would give it a try if its compatible. I have just recently experienced some electrical issues on the 700 and I have about narrowed it down to the igniter. I also have a new used set of coils to swap out as well to see if that solves anything.

The 700 has the advance curve built into the ignitor but the '80 750 uses a mechanical advance unit so NO, the units are not interchangeable.
 
Get a Dyna S.
For the 85 you will need a mechanical advance to run the Dyna
