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 |

Mark - very useful info, thanks a bunch.
I have the unilite conversion kit but have hesitated to install it because it's a one-way conversion that i don't want to mess up. I have had good luck with unilite earlier american cars of my youth. The alternate source of points is really useful too. For now I'm going to get my hands on a variable-advance timing gun, stick with dual points, and see what happens. I am aiming for ~30 BTDC @ 3,300 rpm. |
