I know Aaron has mentioned some details of this in the past but I don't remember it being crystal clear. Anywho...

I need to get this Mallory dizzy installed in my 2056, single carb (soon to be dual'd), 96mm PC and 2.0 crank/rods on 1.8 case/heads 914.

I'm not entirely certain where the wires should hook up and I'm kind of a houseplant when it comes to wiring. I don't want to fry a $300 dizzy. Can anyone be crystal clear on installation? Wires on the Mallory are green, brown and red.

Also, I recall reading that the tin needs to be clearanced a wee bit to accomodate the Mallory's housing that is larger than a stock dizzy. Where exactly? Anyone have pics?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) TIA!

Do you have the manual for the Mallory?
do a search online you can find the PDF version for your specific model.

As I remember (just from my memory) red 12V switched, Green to tach and trigger to CD ignition. brown is ground anywhere on the case will do.

2lb ball peen hammer to ding the sheet metal of the cylinder cooling tin just at the inside radious curve where the distibutor will interfere.

Oh yea remember to get the engine to TDC #1 before pulling out other dizzy.
