PARTS INCLUDE IN THIS KIT:
1 Sleeve/Plate Assembly
1 Magnetic Module
1 Rotor
1 Bag Hardware
IMPORTANT
This conversion kit must be used with an ignition ballast resistor (or loom
resistance wire) to prevent module failure. If your vehicle is not equipped
with a ballast resistor or loom resistance wire, Mallory Ballast Resistor (Part
No. 700) may be used.
INSTALLATION
Step 1
Remove the cap and rotor, then remove the
condensor.
Step 2
Remove the plastic insulators (see Figure 1).
Step 3
Loosen the 2 nuts that hold the cap clips/brackets in
place (see Figure 1). NOTE: To loosen the nuts on
a marine distributor, the aluminum pins in the
brackets may need to be cut in two and removed.
Replacement pins are provided.
Step 4
Remove the point plate assembly by lifting it out of
the housing (see Figure 1).
Step 5
See Figure 2.
Remove the advance springs. Remove the two E-
clips. Remove the advance weights and bushings.
Step 6
Lift the sleeve and advance plate up and off the
distributor shaft.
NOTE: Between the distributor shaft drive plate and
the advance plate is a thrust washer. Sometimes
the thrust washer sticks to the bottom of the ad-
vance plate during removal of the sleeve and
advance plate. Make sure you install the thrust
washer on the distributor shaft drive plate. A re-
placement thrust washer is provided if your thrust
washer needs replacement.
