Step 3
Remove the top from the Mallory distributor by removing the three screws.
Rotate the shaft until the arrow on the shutter wheel points approximately at
the arrow on the housing. Install the Mallory distributor in the engine. The slot
in the top of the housing will clear the cylinder fi ns.
Step 4
Install a 1966-69 distributor clamp. Do not tighten the clamp at this time.
Step 5
Turn the shutter wheel by hand to test the advance. The shutter wheel
should rotate clockwise about 10 degrees and snap back when released.
Using one hand, rotate the shutter wheel clockwise to the fully advanced
position and hold. Using your other hand, rotate the housing until the
arrow on the housing lines up with the arrow on the shutter wheel. Tighten
the distributor clamp bolt. Timing should now be close enought to start the
engine.
Step 6
Replace the Mallory top and install the three screws to hold it in place.
NOTE: The 3 holes in the housing must be aligned with the 3 holes in the top
to ensure proper placement of the UNILITE ® module. (Tech Tip: Add some
Blue Loctite to 3 screws to help prevent them from vibrating loose.)
Step 7
Connect the wires as shown in Figures C and D. Start the engine and
check the timing with a timing light. NOTE: when checking the timing,
engine RPM must be above 2000 for accurate timing results.
