mallory unilite questions, and so it begins.... Options

[Aaron Cox]

hey guys,

i have a 2.0 euro piston'd, weber 44'd engine with a Moderate - big cam.
so much so that stock 44's work very well (dead on jetting - off the shelf) IIRC i was told that the advance from my 050 dizzy wasnt optimum for my cam. my engine wil cruise all day long like stock but is a Beast 2500 to 6000. but mildly hesitate when it comes off idle circuit to mains
when you jump on it. (explained to me that its the difference in vacuum when the powerband comes on, kinda fakes out the webers)

im contemplating a mallory dizzy....
what should the static and full advance timing be set to? (mallory is adjustable)
also, the unilite optical pickup w/o vac advance - will it still generate a useable tach signal?

thanks dudes,
Aaron

Hi,

The size of the cap is much larger than stock, so you have to bang out the tin to get it to fit. If you use the vacuum distributor, you'll have to reindex the distributor drive gear one or two teeth so that the canister doesn't hit the breather tower. I made my own plug wires and didn't compare the stock wires, so I'm not certain that the stock wires will reach. I'll try to check that later today.
