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!

We recurve all dizzys before they are shipped out to the default TIV settings that I have found to work the best all around... You should have roughly a 12 degree initial advance to net a 28 degree full advance.. You should have either a pair of grey springs or an orange and grey spring.. We have two ways of setting up these dizzys and when the grey springs are not available we use orange springs and change the perch positions to net roughly the same advance rate.
