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! |

QUOTE(Aaron Cox @ Mar 17 2007, 07:22 PM)  feel the difference? Yes. It's not huge, but noticeable for sure. Driveability throughout the rpm range has definitely improved. QUOTE(Aaron Cox @ Mar 17 2007, 07:22 PM) what initial advance setting are you running? There we're in a bit of a gray area. I haven't touched this car since I bought it back in Feb 2006. I did that initial valve adjustment at Joe's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jsharp.gif) and I realized then that the dizzy drive gear is 180 out, the fan only has a TDC mark. At the time I verified that the TDC was TDC, and did the valve adjustment. The car ran great, so awway I went and drove it home. All I've done since then is check the valve adjustment once (didn't have to change a single one), and change the oil once or twice. It's been starting to show signs of worn points, but I haven't messed with it since I've had this Mallory I bought from Jake laying around for the last six months or more. I never bothered putting it in because the car has always just ran and ran and ran. So... not sure. I kept backing out advance yesterday until it ran decent and I silenced all of the pinging. I obviously still need to turn that drive gear around and get this fan marked. |
