IMPORTANT

This conversion kit must be used with an ignition ballast resistor (or loom

resistance wire) to prevent module failure. If your vehicle is not equipped

with a ballast resistor or loom resistance wire, Mallory Ballast Resistor (Part

No. 700) may be used.

INSTALLATION

Step 1

Remove the cap and rotor, then remove the

condensor.

Step 2

Remove the plastic insulators (see Figure 1).

Step 3

Loosen the 2 nuts that hold the cap clips/brackets in

place (see Figure 1). NOTE: To loosen the nuts on

a marine distributor, the aluminum pins in the

brackets may need to be cut in two and removed.

Replacement pins are provided.

Step 4

Remove the point plate assembly by lifting it out of

the housing (see Figure 1).

Step 5

See Figure 2.

Remove the advance springs. Remove the two E-

clips. Remove the advance weights and bushings.

Step 6

Lift the sleeve and advance plate up and off the

distributor shaft.

NOTE: Between the distributor shaft drive plate and

the advance plate is a thrust washer. Sometimes

the thrust washer sticks to the bottom of the ad-

vance plate during removal of the sleeve and

advance plate. Make sure you install the thrust

washer on the distributor shaft drive plate. A re-

placement thrust washer is provided if your thrust

washer needs replacement.
