"usually" most SE ignition systems prior to 2004 are dual fire, with the exception of the 1998 to 2003 1200S models they came with single fire dual plug systems.
as for an adapter you might want to contact Drag and see if they got a tech dept to answer that question with the aftermarket everything is different.
Unfortunately on sporties a tach is usually not a "plug and play" situation

You should have a dual fire ignition. As loner said you need to contact Drag Specialties to find out what you need. Normally you'd do this before buying.

We've all jumped on a bargain when we saw it and then regreted it later.
