MALLORY IGNITION
FIGURE 1
WIRING DIAGRAM USING OEM PRIMARY (LOOM) RESISTANCE WIRE
NOTE: The purpose of resistance wire between the ignition
switch (12V) and the ignition coil positive terminal is to restrict
current flow through the ignition coil. Failure to use resistance
wire will eventually destroy the Ignition Module.
EXCEPTION: If your vehicle is equipped with a HYFIRE
®
Electronic
Ignition Control or similar aftermarket ignition control, use the
wiring procedures stated in the instructions included with the
ignition control.
NOTE: The Red wire from the distributor would prefer to see 12v
using a loom resistor makes that a little more difficult.
To prevent false triggering and possible
premature ignition failure, you must
use suppression type (carbon core,
spiral core, or radio suppression core)
spark plug wire.
Do not use solid core (copper core or
stainless steel core) spark plug wire
with any electronic ignition system.

WIRING DIAGRAM USING IGNITION BALLAST RESISTOR
NOTE: The purpose of an ignition ballast resistor between the
ignition switch (12V) and the ignition coil positive terminal is
to restrict current flow through the ignition coil. Failure to use
an ignition ballast resistor will eventually destroy the Ignition
Module.
EXCEPTION: If your vehicle is equipped with a HYFIRE
®
Electronic Ignition Control or similar aftermarket ignition control,
use the wiring procedures stated in the instructions included
with the ignition control.
To prevent false triggering and pos-
sible premature ignition failure, you
must use suppression type (carbon
core, spiral core, or radio suppression
core) spark plug wire.
Do not use solid core (copper core or
stainless steel core) spark plug wire
with any electronic ignition system.
