Thanks for another great video, John. Wish you would make a detailed, step by step procedure video on clutch bleeding, really needed. Just a thought! Thanks, Joe Mac
Mallory dual points gap must be .022 not the stock MGB .015 gap according to them. If it keeps blowing condensers add one to the coil side also on the same wire. (so 2) I did this, works fine...
kuz its like he was waiting for me to tell me about 10% advance a no no and turning the distributor till it pings and turn it back, but what made it even worse he said yowza and im like but how
My uncle was a salesman for Mallory back in the 1950s and 1960s so I had their distributors and coils on my MG-A, XK-120 and P544. I never had any trouble with them back then, but never saw any particular performance increase with them either. They did seem less sensitive to moisture and humidity than the Lucas parts. The coils weren't chromed, but rather were an ugly red fiberglass blob.
@@John_Thompson Dual point ignitions were around since the early 1930s. The one point closes the circuit, the other point opens it. This means each point only has to open and close half as often as in a single-point system. This elimintates point bounce at high engine speeds.
hi I have a problem, I lose the vacum advance of my distributor, I have a HEI mallory serial 85, I cant loaliced the serial number of this pece for asck to a for example Summit Racing for buy a new advance vacuum today in summit says to me with out de serial number he cant do nothing, please, someone can hepl me, thanks
The Mallory dual point mech advance is a work of art and dead nuts dependable. Mallory condensers are crap. Use any parts store condenser and you will have no trouble.
your wrong and your buddy was right. You can tune an engine more precise by ear than you can with a timing light. That is after you get the initial timing. I used to time my engine by ear in the 7-11 parking lot before I went out street racing. Learned that from an old school street racer. Just be carful not to get zapped by the 20,000 volt coil OUCH!
Mallory? no thanks. back in the day i bought a duel point disturber . with duel points. one set of points fired half the cylinders, the other set fired the other half. but the points would slip and make half the cyls fire out of phase. it made some pistons brake the ring lands. Mallory? NEVER AGAIN.

A simple yet effective demonstration of how dual points work. The rest sounds like Mallory uses Lucas condensers.
Great explanation of the dwell.

I have always used a vacuum gauge to time my american cars. Can this same trick be used on an mgb? (78 mgb zenith carb).
What if you had dual coils also?
