Step 3
Remove the cover from the Mallory distributor by
removing the two screws. Rotate the shaft until the
arrow on the UNILITE
® plate points approximately
at the “X” on the shutter wheel. Install the Mallory
distributor in the engine. Be sure that the distributor
wires exit on the side closest to the cylinders.
Step 4
Install a 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 about 10º and snap
back when released. Using one hand, rotate the
shutter wheel to the fully advanced position and hold.
Using your other hand, rotate the housing until the
arrow lines up with the “X”. Tighten the distributor
clamp. Release the shutter wheel. The timing should
now be close enough to start the engine.
Step 6
Connect the wires (See Figures C and D).
