Step 9
Install the grommet in the hole in the distributor hosing where the primary
point wire had previously fed through. Slide the three wires from the
module, through the grommet, to outside the distributor housing.
Step 10 (See Figure 2)
Put the three wires from the module in the female connector: green wire in
hole #1; brown wire in hole #2; red wire in hole #3. Plug the distributor wire
harness into the female connector. See Figure 2.
Step 11
Install the two–piece shutter underneath the rotor drive plate and install two
8-32 bolts. The hex heads of the 8-32 bolts fits into the matching holes on
the underside of the shutter wheel. Install the rotor on the rotor drive and
install two 8-32 hex nuts. See Figure 1.
NOTE: Some distributors use a rotor made from a flexible plastic. File
or cut the rotor locator (on the bottom of the rotor) so that it measures
1/8" in length. Install rotor and shutter as described in Step 11.
Step 12
Install the distributor with the rotor and vacuum chamber pointing in the
direction as noted in Step 5. The rotor must be pointing (approximately) at
the mark on the distributor housing from Step 2.
NOTE: The distributor must be fully seated into the engine. It may be
necessary to turn the oil pump drive, or turn the engine crankshaft
two full turns until the timing mark lines up (again) with the TDC mark
on the timing tab, to allow the distributor to seat fully.
Step 13
Turn the distributor housing until the nearest slot on the shutter wheel is
approximately in the center of the optics of the module. This will generally
give timing close enough for starting purposes. The rotor must be pointing
(approximately) at the mark on the distributor housing from Step 2. Put the
distributor hold down clamp in place and tighten slightly, leaving it loose
enough to turn the distributor.
Step 14
Install the distributor cap.
WIRING PROCEDURE (See Figures 3, 4 and 5)
Step 1
Make sure that your vehicle is equipped with an ignition ballast resistor (or
loom resistance wire) in the wire between the ignition switch and the coil
(+) terminal. If you find your vehicle is not equipped with an ignition ballast
resistor, install a Mallory Ignition Ballast Resistor Part No. 700 in series in
the wire from the ignition switch. For optimum performance in systems
without a HyFire or similar ignition control, use one of Mallory's 3 specially
matched coils which eliminates the need for a ballast resistor or a
resistance wire. These coils are: 29219- Chrome Canister Coil, 30450
PROMASTER e Coil and 29450 PROMASTER Classic Coil.
Step 2
There are three wires coming from the distributor wire harness:
RED WIRE: Connect to the coil (+) terminal.
GREEN WIRE:
Connect to the coil (–) terminal.
BROWN WIRE:
Connect to engine block ground.
Clean away any grease, oil and paint from the mounting surface before the
connection is made.
NOTE: If a HYFIRE^® Electronic Ignition Control or any other aftermarket
ignition control is being used, connect the distributor wire harness
according to the instructions supplied with the ignition control.
STARTING THE ENGINE
CAUTION: Be sure all tools, wires and miscellaneous objects are clear
of moving engine parts and extreme heat before starting the engine.
Recheck all wires and connections to make sure they are correct. Check
and clean, or replace spark plugs. If replacing spark plugs, use types
recommended by the engine manufacturer.
Step 1
Connect a timing light. Find the area with the best view of the timing marks.
Step 2
Start engine. If it fails to start, rotate the distributor in small increments
clockwise or counterclockwise until engine starts. Do not exceed more than
ten degrees of distributor housing rotation in either direction.
Step 3
Set timing as recommended by engine manufacturer, then tighten distribu-
tor hold down clamp. Make sure timing is still correct. If timing has moved,
repeat this procedure.
Step 4
Re-connect the vacuum hose between the vacuum chamber and
the carburetor.
