are you sure that the coil you have,which I presume is a Flame Thrower Chrome unit has the right impedence,the Mallory part no. 29126 which is recomended for the Magnetic Distributor, has an impedence of 0.70 ohms and the Flame Thrower is higher at 1.5 ohms,you should be careful of the module in the Mallory distributor.
The standard Mallory Chrome coil has an impedence of 1.4 ohms and is only suitable for contact breaker systems,although it will work with a Mallory Unilite or Magnetic,but the risk is a blown module.
Hi Dave, I will check with them tomorrow, it does say 1.5ohms on the coil!
It does say in the instructions that all Mallory Unilite and Magnetic breakerless dizzys require a coil with a minimumof 1.4 ohms of primary resitance if you run in performance mode. However reliability improves if the ballast resister fitted
