1081529/22/2004 1:42:27 AMI have a Ford 390 in a marine application with a YL Mallory distributor. My manual only states an 8 degree initial advance. The information that came with the spring kit that I ordered from you says that Mallory distributors are factory set to give 24 degrees advance. I have installed the springs that should provide this but when I run the engine up to 4000 my timing light shows that I have 26 degrees. I assume this is the TOTAL advance.

1052127/30/2004 9:50:54 AMI have a 455 Olds motor in a custom boat that I purchased from my cousins neighbor. I have been working on it for a couple of years now (custom metal flake paint, billet dash components,aluminum heads, lumpy cam, etc...). I originally put an old single point dist. in the motor just to get her up and running. Now I want to get her in the water, but I need some good firepower. Does Mallory offer a marine approved electronic distributor to fit this motor? If so, what else can I do to improve the ignition? Thanks for your time, you guys are grea...
1047827/21/2004 10:11:50 PMI want to convert my ignition system on both engines with an Electronic ignition. The present ignition system I have is a YL566AV distributor assembly. It consists of Mallory pts 25042, condensor 400, rotor 319, distributor cap 25620B. Can I purchase a complete ignition system with the electronic ignition already made into the distributor or is the electronic ignition, only an add on. I want to replace the distributor in either case and need pricing on whatever way this can be done. Thank you. Paul Thompson PaulTbird@aol.com
