    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.

:? I just picked up a used dyna S ignition & coils off of a 82-1100E to use on my 80-850.I downloaded instructions for the ignition from the dyna website & everything seems straightforward enough.There's 3 wires(blk,white & red)bundled together coming out of unit.On my unit there's also a separate blk. wire thats wire tied to the outside of the other 3 wires.Its got a round connector that looks like it was attached to one of the base plate mounting screws.Dyna's instructions do not show this extra wire.Does anyone know what it's for & can I remove it?All I can think of is it's a ground for something but I don't know what.Thanks!
 
Re: wiring issues-dyna ignition?

A Dyna "S" only has three wires, red, black and white. The red is switched 12v positive and connects to either the positive wire leading to your coils or to a switched ignition lead. The black and white wires connect your crankshaft pickups to the appropriate negative lead on your coils. Usually. black would be the left crankshaft pickup and connect to the left coil neg terminal for cylinders 1 and 4. White would be the right crankshaft pickup, connect to the right coil neg teerminal and be for cylinders 2 and 3.
You can remove the extra black lead as there is no need for it.

I still use the S for a pickup on my old MSD ignition. The problem with the S was that they picked the ground up from the block. All of their newer units have a seperate ground. I wonder if this was something that was put on yours by the previous owner or if Dyna added it. I have never seen one like you describe.

Is the plate blue, or natural?

The mounting plate is natural & the rotor is blue.
