I need to set ignition timing on a '74 1.8 that has a mallory dual-points mech adv distributor. Model # of mallory distrib is 2354101, in case it matters to someone.
Anybody have tips on how to set timing on this setup, assuming the rest of the engine is basically stock? Prior to any attempts to set timing, I plan to replace both sets of points, condenser, and adjust the dwell. Thanks in advance for any help |

Points are getting hard to find.
It should be a red top, so grey/grey springs work. http://vwparts.aircooled.net/Mallory-GREY-...prings-pair.htm You can turn it into a unilight. http://vwparts.aircooled.net/Mallory-Unili...t-562-p/562.htm You can change it into pertronix, part number ML-161 or ignitor II 9ML-161 You can also run it points only (no condenser) to trigger a MSD, this method the points won't have any high volts going through it and they should last almost forever. You could also use the unilight/ignitor to trigger the MSD. |
