Step 10
The grommet has a flat on one flange. Install the grommet in the hole in
the distributor housing where the primary wire had previously fed through
with the flat on one flange facing out and up. Positioning the flat on one
flange facing out and up allows adequate distributor cap clearance. Slide
the three wires from the E-Spark^TM Module, through the grommet, to
outside the distributor housing.
Step 11 (See Figure 2)
Put the E-Spark^TM Module’s three wires in the female connector:
GREEN WIRE in hole #1
BROWN WIRE in hole #2
RED WIRE in hole #3
Plug the female connector into the distributor wire harness. See Figure 2.
Step 12
Install the rotor/shutter. Place the distributor in the engine with the rotor
pointing in the same general direction as during removal of the
distributor (from Step 5).
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 in
the direction of rotation 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
Rotate the distributor housing until the rotor points to the mark on the
distributor housing (from Step 2) and the nearest slot on the rotor’s
shutter wheel is approximately in the center of the optics of the E-Spark^TM
Module. This will generally put timing close enough for starting purposes.
Put the distributor hold down clamp in place and tighten slightly, leaving
it loose enough to turn the distributor housing.
Step 14
Install the distributor cap.
NOTE: The grommet was installed during step 10. The grommet
has a flat on one flange. When installed, the flat on the flange of the
grommet must face out and up to allow adequate distributor cap
clearance. The distributor cap may not sit properly on the distributor
housing unless these details are followed exactly.
WIRING PROCEDURE
(See Figures 3, 4 and 5)
IMPORTANT: 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. One easy way to find the ignition ballast
resistor is to check the service manual for your vehicle. In general, all
vehicles equipped with the Ford/Motorcraft point ignition were equipped
with an ignition ballast resistor. 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. Failure to use
an ignition ballast resistor will result in the eventual destruction of the
E-Spark^TM Ignition Module. Exception: If your vehicle is equipped with a
HYFIRE^® Electronic Ignition Control or similar aftermarket ignition control,
use ignition ballast resistors and wiring procedures as stated in the
instructions for the particular ignition control.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with a HYFIRE^® Electronic Ignition
Control or similar aftermarket ignition control, use ignition ballast
resistors and wiring procedures as stated in the instructions for the
particular ignition control.
ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS
Tachometer operation: Connect tachometer wire or wires as recom-
mended by the actual tachometer manufacturer.
Step 1
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 2
Connect a timing light. Find the area with the best view of the
timing marks.
Step 3
Start the engine. If it fails to start, rotate the distributor housing in small
increments clockwise or counterclockwise until engine starts. Do not
exceed more than 10 degrees of distributor housing rotation in either
direction.
Step 4
Set timing as recommended by engine manufacturer, then tighten
distributor hold down clamp. Make sure timing is still correct. If timing has
moved, repeat this procedure. Re-connect vacuum line.
