| Be very careful, Unilites are fragile! |

Mark,
If you do the Unilite will fry. Look for a bent distributor shaft or try your components on a friend's car one at a time to determine which is causing the problem. I bet it's the Unilite distributor.
With the coil and everything else connected and while cranking the engine you should see 9-10 volts at the coil or whatever battery voltage drops to while cranking. With the engine running it will be 9V at the coil. By-passing the resistor during cranking only maintains voltage to the coil to compensate for the starter's drain.
If you have ever cranked the engine with the distributor cap removed or the coil wire pulled out the Mallory Unilite may have been damaged. They are extremely fragile, the Pertronics conversion is much more reliable.
Good Luck,
Royce Peterson |
