If I install a Mallory distributor in the stock location, with #1 at 11:00, the clips that hold the distributor cap interfere with the engine tin, making setting timing difficult. Just want to double check myself, if I rotate the distributor drive gear to one or two teeth so it lines up with 9:00 with the engine at top dead center, I can line up the rotor at 9:00 and be at top dead center for #1?

Can you find Mallory dizzys again? They were NLA for years.
And, yes. You have to dimple the tin to make a Mallory work well. Zach |

But, you can still find the optical sensor units, springs (i.e. grey, grey), and caps. It's a shame as they work great and can be tuned to your application. Our 1.8 uses a centrifugal distributor without dimpling the tin, YMMV. |
