Mallory Ignition ACCEL timing retard module 49355 - Manual (Page 5)

1. With the unit powered off press, and hold
down, both the SAVE and C RANK buttons.
2. While holding those two buttons down, apply power to the module.
The module will enter its Programming Mode and display a number that
represents the number of cylinders in an engine (the factory default).
3. Use the
⇑
and
⇓
keys to select the number of cylinders for YOUR engine.
4. When finished, press SAVE. This stores this new information and puts
the module back into Control Mode operation.
Make this selection only once per installation.
If you do not make this selection your
Timing Retard Module uses the factory default.

Enter Programming Mode by pressing the key for the function you wish to modify.
Adjust the timing retard of that function to an appropriate value.
Exit Programming Mode by pressing that same key again.
i.e. To select a timing retard for starting your engine press the C RANK button.
The display shows its current value and The Programming Dot will start to flash.
Use the
⇑
and
⇓
keys to adjust (in 1° increments) the value displayed.
When finished press C RANK again.
The Programming Dot stops flashing and the current timing retard displays.
Do the same for all timing retard inputs. It is not necessary to exit Programming
Mode to select a new function, simply press the next value’s key.
i.e. Press 1 st and select its value. Then press 2 nd and select its value.
Since 2 nd was the last value you programmed, you
exit Programming Mode by pressing 2 nd again.
When you have finished programming press SAVE to store all new values.
I MPORTANT P ROGRAMMING D ETAILS
The initial values you program and save into your Timing Retard Module will get you
started. You will eventually want to modify them. Just select a function and change it.
Modifications take effect immediately. Press that function’s key again (displaying cur-
rent timing retard), and the newly selected value takes effect.
The 1 st , 2 nd , and 3 rd switches do not represent gears, but rather switches. On a four
speed manual transmission the switches are normally installed on 2 nd , 3 rd , and 4 th gears.
Timing retard is additive. For example: you program 3° of retard for the 1 st key and 4°
of retard for the 2 nd key. The module will provide 3° of retard when switch #1 gets
activated, then adds 4° (7° total) when switch #2 is activated (while switch #1 remains
active). N
2 O timing retard, when active, is also additive.
If your shifter and switches are designed so that only one switch can be activated at a
ime, the value programmed for each individual switch is not additive.
