I have initial set at 12° bftdc and the box had a programable start retard I had programmed at 8°. So It starts at 4° bftdc and above 500 rpm it becomes 12° bftdc. Total is at 32°-34° bftdc . I have theMallory 29351 power filter inline to the distributor . The Unilite distributor and Promaster coil are the one that came with the car. but with an older HyFire IV box ,no resister no filter. The chance of someone sitting in my car and fiddeling are removed .I have a series of master switches, a functional key switch .
I don't understand the cam eating up the advance thing. Did you meen it likes it?
I can't find the line I read somewhere where it said , in effect,the Unilite distrib doesn't need a resister. Several comp[onet instructions show the Unilite distrib getting power before the resister-then again there is a diagram that shows everyting after the resister. When I read this stuff I need to print it out and hilite it.The last test everything was after the resister (No box )Box is in shippment to Summit .I'm ready to try distrib getting power before resister through filter, and coil receiving power after resister . this was the last instructions from Mallory tech. I explained what I wanted to do and he said correct.
I have the balast resister mounted under the wireng on the left wheel well .I have those flat 1/4" spades on the Mallory #700 balast resister.The resister actually has screw post terminals and has 1/4" male spades bent at a right angle on the srew post under a nut. I have two male spades on terminal 2 and four male spades on terminal 1 (one extra) . I have the switched power wire and the red wire that powers to the distributor( red wire in the three wire harnesss) connected to the spades on terminal 1. Terminal 2 has power from starter relay that bypasses the resister (when actually cranking) and the wire ( I chose an orange wire) that powers the the box( if being used) or the coil ,if bypass plug is used. I just move this one (orange) wire from terminal 2 to terminal1 if I take the bypass plug out and reinstall the box. So when installing or bypassing the box I install or remove the plug and move one wire.
