Car still being problematic. it dies at idle.
its like someone turned the ignition off. I can see the timing light go out. I also used a test light to confirm that i have constant power to the coil. Really not sure what to do. Im going to take nditiz1 up on his offer to test with his distributor though. |

There are lots of Mallory parts available on Ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&a...ts&_sacat=0 Not sure why you go that route... they are great distributors buy cars haven't had points since like 1975 for a reason... high maintenance, take some free advice and ditch the points. They also make a low .6 ohm coil to replace the weak bosch factory coil. https://www.ebay.com/itm/380369650854?mkrid...t=1&mkcid=1 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

Are you 100% positive you don't have a vacuum leak. Engine runs but will not idle is a classic vacuum leak or bent valve symptom. |

It idles fine, it just loses spark and dies, I can see the flash go out on the timing light and then as a result of that it stops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFO2LB4ZLyk |

That sounds like a ground issue, got to admit I'm at a loss, every Mallory I've done I've installed a pertonix or uni-light.

Check to make sure the grounding strap inside the dizzy is solidly attached at both ends.
Also check your main grounding strap connections at the transaxle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Ill check the distributor,
I did use a big jumper cable to clip onto the transaxle and go direct to the battery ground. no change so I think that eliminates that possibility. |
