Mallory UNILITE® Electronic Distributor
Series Nos. 37,38, with Speed of Light Triggering

    The Mallory UNILITE® Electronic Distributor is now considered the industry standard for electronic ignition distributors.  Over 15 years of engineering, development and race testing has produced the most advanced ignition system in the performance industry.
    The Mallory UNILITE® Electronic Distributor is triggered by a photo optic, infrared, L.E.D. that never varies or wears out and replaces the complete OEM Distributor with an easy to install three wire connection electronic distributor that is completely maintenance and trouble free.

Mallory UNILITE® Electronic Distributor Features:
*    Self-lubricating bushings provide long life and prevent shaft wobble.
*    High dielectric strength cap and rotor/shutter wheel combination prevents voltage leakage.
*    Easy to install three wire connection.
*    Adjustable advance curve for performance tuning.
*    L.E.D. triggering for accurate timing and maintenance free operation.

Not legal for sale or use in California on pollution controlled motor vehicles.

!!!! NOW Available for NAILHEADS !!!!

MALLORY DUAL POINT MECHANICAL ADVANCE DISTRIBUTORS
Series Nos. 25,26

    Mallory designed, engineered and race tested the original Dual Point Distributor over 30 years ago.  New materials and technology have enable Mallory to improve the performance and reliability of its basic design for today's performance engines.  The Mallory Dual Point Distributor incorporates features not found in conventional, remanufactured or replacement distributors with the added benefit of stabilized dual points that increase coil output for maximum performance at any RPM.
    Mallory Dual Point Mechanical Distributors come with a preset, factory installed advance curve precisely calibrated for maximum performance.  However, all Mallory Dual Point Mechanical Advance Distributors also come with a special feature that allows for further adjustment for specific requirements.  Available for most 4,6 and 8 cylinder American engines and some popular 4 and 6 cylinder import engines.

Performance Benefits of the Mallory Dual Point Mechanical Advance Distributors:
*    Improved combustion efficiency and economy
*    Increased spark plug life
*    Improved cod weather starting
*    Increased RPM potential
*    Maintenance free operation
*    Accurate spark timing

*Vacuum Advance Distributor Available Upon Request.

MALLORY Accessories and Replacement Parts

UNILITE® Breakerless Electronic Conversion Kits

*    Improved Performance
*    More Accurate Timing
*    Reduced Maintenance
*    Improved Fuel Economy
*    Easy Installation

    The Mallory UNILITE® Breakerless Electronic Conversion Kit replaces the points and condenser in any OEM GM, Ford or Chrysler 8-cylinder distributor and any 4,6, or 8 cylinder Mallory distributor, converting it to a maintenance free, breakerless electronic ignition system.

    With the electronic conversion, the points are replaced by a module that contains all of the circuitry needed for an electronic ignition system:

        *    an integrated photo coupler
        *    a signal processor
        *    a power switch

    An optical interrupter makes and breaks the infrared light beam in the photo coupler.  When the optical interrupter breaks the light beam, the circuitry energizes the ignition coil.  The electronic circuitry fires the ignition coil whenever the optical interrupter allows the light beam to complete its path.

HYFIRE® IV Electronic Ignition Control

    The HYFIRE® IV Electronic Ignition Control was designed using the same state of the art technology that was used in the design of the HYFIRE® V and X Racing Electronic Ignition Controls so as to produce a low cost, high output capacative discharge system for use in oval track racing, lower class gasoline fueled cars in drag racing and for the street / strip enthusiast desiring even more ignition output than is provided by Mallory's HYFIRE® I, II and III Electronic Ignition Control Systems.   The capacitive discharge design gives stable, uniform output throughout the RPM range with no drop in output at the higher RPM levels while still providing a strong spark at low speed fore easy starting and to insure that the spark plugs stay clean and unfouled.  The HYFIRE®IV Electronic Ignition Control can be triggered by points, UNILTE® system or OEM electronic devices.  It was not designed to be used alone with a magnetic pick-up device.  However, the use of Mallory Part No. 619, RPM Limiter or Mallory Part No. 618, High Speed Retard Device will allow the use of magnetic type pick-ups such as a crank trigger unit.  This system is designed so as to produce good results with a standard OEM coil.  However, for best results, always use a Mallory PROMASTER® Coil.   The part numbers to choose from are 28720, 29440 and 29625.  Any of these will provide superior performance through all RPM ranges.
