The pix shows a Mallory / MP unit (note brass). These are an exercise in futility...this info comes right from the engineer who was tasked with "downsizing" Mallory's GM HEI setup to fit a Mopar (small diameter) housing. The flyweights are so light that the springs must also be featherweights. Result: At any point "on the curve" (from just above idle to "all in"), the timing is extremely unstable. There's no fix for this.

Early versions of this dist. were also erroneously shipped with a very fast, long curve, usually resulting in extreme detonation if your combo required more that 5 deg. initial timing. I finally convinced them to fix the "out of the box" curve around 2008, but, as I said, there's no known fix for the spark scatter.

Were earlier units (mid 90's) screwed up as well?
