If so, you can make one cheaply, for about $25, but you have to find the right HEI module.
Scroll down for the twins version.

You can also modify and use 1/2 of a Dyna S, but you will need a different coil.

Ill go with .5 dyna to eliminate the big three. Pickup coils are getting scarce and it needs a coil too. It has a coil thats 5.8ohms, incorrect for this bikes ic. It does not produce a spark when the ic is triggered, but does when tested with batt voltage. Someone used a 4ohm coil for a points set up. Im going with the harley single pickup dyna with 3ohm coils

I cut a dyna plate in half and trimmed it with a tin snip to fit. I cut two new notches into the rotor to correct its alighnment with the pick up at tdc. I had to drill another hole in the plate for one end of the pick up, so i could move it closer and more square to the rotor. Super simple since the rotor fit the advancer shaft and only had to be re notched to alighn it on the shaft. So lets get it straight. I bought a 26.00 caltric 5.8ohm dual lead coil from ebay. I used my own dynatec ignition from my 900 by cutting the plate into two halves. I then trimmed the plate to fit the 440 since the plate was slightly too big around to fit inside the 440 case. Lined up the rotor with the pickup with the motor at top dead and marked the position i needed the rotor to be in and cut two new notches into it with a dremel. It works supreme and no more 60-125.00 ic boxes and 125.00 NEW OLD STOCK! pick up coils.
