I don't have time to look it up in the regs right now, so I might be wrong.
A certain number of hours must be dual received (by a CFII). The remainder can be SP, dual recieved, or a combination of the two. A CFI (non CFII) who is giving "instrument instruction" is legally only a SP and must log it as SP, not instruction of any sort (unless it is the instrument instruction for a PPL).
