I am, it's a Mallory dual point with the points yanked and swapped with Pertronix. Non redcap.
I just got it running, the guy doing the tuning says it purrs, so here's hoping. |

I am wondering if its an easy plug and play solution. |

Works great, it comes mounted to a plate that replaces the entire Mallory point plate. If you are replacing a Unilite I would think it would replace the plate where the Unilite is mounted. You are going to need a rotor for a 4 cylinder YL Mallory distributor to replace the Unilite rotor....no hat with slots for the LED. Maybe the Unilite rotor can be modified.

Do they make a kit to go from a Unilite Mallory to a Pertronix? Mine started out as a Mallory dual point and the magnetic ring indexes to the ignition point lobes. If your Mallory started out as a Unilite I would think the shaft would be smooth with no lobes and there would be no way to index the magnet.
