i just got my carbs dialed in perfectly. and im thinking about getting a new ignition system. i want to get rid of the 009, and replace it with a vacuum advance unilite with the promaster coil.((im going after MPG) but after researching the unilite, it seems the newer models are prone to problems compared to the older units. is this still the case? any mallory users out there? particularly the newer models?

The mallory can use the stock coil or you can use a better coil. Mallory sells a resistor if your coil doesn't have one. The Mallory's optical pickup is superior to the magnetic one. Modules for the Mallory are cheaper than new pertronix units also, though Mallory caps are like $40. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) The scatter is the only problem, and it's not worse than my 009 that way.

I'm not so sure that you need to run spiral wound plug wires with the mallory. I ran bosch wires for years before I heard that without any problems.
