in order of importance...more or less:

remove Mallory distributor and install stock 1.7 dizzy with FI trigger points

clean and test all connections to the engine wiring harness

remove the relay board and inspect/repair/clean as needed

install modified MPS that is tweaked for current 1.8 motor

install brand new batter cables

find or make a new batter hold down clamp

bleed calipers

make the VW Bug tow bar pictured below work on my 914

remove rear shocks/springs, modify the perch to lower the car at least 3/4" or more in the rear since is riding too darn high

depending on how time goes: install front and rear needle bearings

make the RX-7 caliper adapters and mount the billet hubs with big brakes

I'm sure I'll find more items that have to be taken care of so car is road worthy so that'll mean bumping certain to do items off the list......

Mike,
Is your Mallory a Unilite? Why are you repacing it? I'm looking for the best fuel injection dizzy I can use. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
Have fun today on your car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blowtorch.gif)

typical day off from work for when the wife is at home as well= nothing done to the 914 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

I guess working until 1 in morning then not going to bed until 3am puts a slight damper on getting up too early in the morning to start working in the garage.....

once i did get up a 8:30am I had to go rent a cherry picker for the engine I sold, place near me only had one unit which was already rented out, so I had to drive out to the next place which is only 5 miles away but due to a traffic accident, it took 1/2 hour to get there......

finally make it home, and next thing I know, I'm in the backyard doing honey-do's, this takes up a few hours, finally I get back to the garage and spend the rest of the evening cleaning and trying to organize my messy place.....hopefully this weekend I am more productive on the car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

Joe,

Yes it is a Mallory Unilite, it will not work with D-Jet unless you figure out how to trigger the ECU, I've done it with mine, but I am having some electrical problems with the car, not sure if it's the relay board or my trigger circuit. Right now you have no direct bolt-on option unless you get creative....
