Hello all.
I was reading the thread on the Mallory distributor and was very interested in the gain in hp's and throttle response. After inquiring with Jake Rabbi he informed me that it was not compatible with my stock 1974 fuel injected 2.0lt. I was wondering if someone could let me know if there are any other options, for increased hp's and throttle response, for my car without going to carbs or making any other major changes.
Also, just changing my distributor, which distributors can I go to? Will a bosch 009 work?
Thanks in advance for any responses to this thread.
Cheers, Dominic.
your stuck with your FI dizzy.....you need the trigger points at the base of the distributor to provide the "ECU" with a reference signal...without those points, you might as well just push your car with your feet.....
my advice is to either stick with what you have, buy a rebuilt 050, get new trigger points(they help...promise. I've seen/felt it with my own feet...just couldnt afford them) or go aftermarket.

Thanks guys. That's what I thought. Just wanted to be sure before I do that tune up and valve job. The engine doesn't really feel that tired, just hoping for any edge I can get. Is it a big job to take the dizzy apart and clean it up and lube it to get the best performance out of it? What difficulty level, on a scale of 1 to 5, is it?
i did it in a hour in my dorm hallway with a can of carb cleaner, a flathead screwdriver and a roll of paper towel.....everyone down my hallway enjoyed a nice high after the episode too.
like a 2/5 or something...just dont break the little copper ground cable wire thing
