WIRING PROCEDURE (SEE FIGURES 3, 4 AND 5)
Step 1 -
Make sure that your vehicle is equipped with an ignition ballast resistor (or loom resistance wire)
in the wire between the ignition switch and the coil (+) terminal. If you find your vehicle is not
equipped with an ignition ballast resistor, install a Mallory Ignition Ballast Resistor Part No. 700
in series in the wire from the ignition switch. For optimum performance in systems without a
HyFire or similar ignition control, use one of Mallory's 3 specially matched coils which eliminates
the need for a ballast resistor or a resistance wire. These coils are: 29219- Chrome Canister
Coil, 30450 PROMASTER e Coil and 29450 PROMASTER Classic Coil.
Step 2 -
There are three wires coming from the distributor wire harness:
RED WIRE: Connect to the coil (+) terminal.
GREEN WIRE: Connect to the coil (–) terminal.
BROWN WIRE: Connect to engine block ground.
Clean away any grease, oil and paint from the mounting surface before the connection is made.
Note:
If a HYFIRE® Electronic Ignition Control or any other aftermarket ignition control is being used,
connect the distributor wire harness according to the instructions supplied with the ignition control.

STARTING THE ENGINE
CAUTION:
Be sure all tools, wires and miscellaneous objects are clear of moving engine parts and
extreme heat before starting the engine.
Recheck all wires and connections to make sure they are correct. Check and clean, or replace spark
plugs. If replacing spark plugs, use types recommended by the engine manufacturer.
Step 1 -
Connect a timing light. Find the area with the best view of the timing marks.
Step 2 -
Start engine. If it fails to start, rotate the distributor in small increments clockwise or
counterclockwise until engine starts. Do not exceed more than ten degrees of distributor housing
rotation in either direction.
Step 3 -
Set timing as recommended by engine manufacturer, then tighten distributor hold down clamp.
Make sure timing is still correct. If timing has moved, repeat this procedure.
Step 4 -
Re-connect the vacuum hose between the vacuum chamber and the carburetor.
