Looks like I fried the optical sensor in my Mallory. Did some timing work, shut it down, then went out a few hours later to go for a drive. No spark. Put my old 009 with pertronix back in and its running.
Questions - 1) I have a bosch blue coil, and its measuring 3 ohms pos to neg, and 8k coil wire to either neg or pos. This seems a little low. Could it have been the cuplrit in killing my dizzy? 2) From what I have read, the blue coil has an internal resistor. Would adding a ballast resistor provide additional protection to the Mallory(once fixed) or would it just run like crap? |

What do you have for ignition wires? Unilite module failure on shutdown is usually from using solid wire core ignition cables. Mallory specifies carbon or spiral wound wires several places in the instructions. Pretty sure they are basic plug wires. Got a good source for spiral?
