has anyone tried the marine distributors that pertronix makes?
200 dollars, and already converted to their elecronic ignition. I can provide a link if you need, but I saw these on Summits website.... |

Looks like I'm going to have to order a curve kit for the Mallory. Still only getting 28 total advance with my base at 12 before. Slowed my boat down and I lost 300 rpm on the top. Might rethink this and ask santa for a DUI after all.

i contacted pertronix, they did not offer my application.
reverse 351w, alan, i bet 79 can offer advice on your mallory, sucks to spend that money for a downgrade in performance, did you replace the coil as well? |

The coil is the one DIM sells for their EI conversion and the boat runs 51 mph with the old EI conversion kit in it. I planned on upgrading the coil later and I didn't expect to really pick up anything without replacing the coil but I really didn't expect to go backwards either. I think it's just going to take some tuning with springs. |

You don't really need springs yet, you need to open the stops to increase the final.

Makes sense, I wish the darn thing came with some kind of instructions on adjustment. There's more info on the web than comes with it. Could have done some tinkering with it at the campgrounds if it had. Looks like I'll have to do a little reading tonight. Sort of slow progress when you're learning as you go. |

A little light reading, Thanks Tom for always pointing me in the right direction.
advance curves Looks like you might have to buy the curve kit to get the advance stop gauge. |

don't need the gauges just mark it with a sharpie and do a little trial and error. Believe you just need to close the ap a little.

Allan if you have a dial caliber then you could use that by locking it down at a set distance, and using the side you would for an inside diameter should work just as good as the stick gauge in the curve kit.

If you gotta miss C/C day I guess Key West is the place to be.
Wouldn't mind seeing you before you head back north. You guys can come over this way and we'll get Eddie and MM's Orlando gang together for dinner or something. john |

Played with the Advance today and had no luck. My YLM looks nothing like the diagram in the link above. There are no "arms" to control advance stop. There are 2 allen type screws that look like they would control the total advance by adjusting the bottom plate but it is already adjusted to the max.
Think I'll take a picure of the mechanism and see what you guys suggest. I can't find anything on the Mallory site about setting total advance except the pdf above and that must be for an older model dis. So for now I'm stuck with about 18 degrees of advance. I've got my initial set real high just so I can get more total but I know it's not right. I'll listen for ping tommorrow and see how it runs. |

Well, starting to make some sense of this advance now. My distributor is clearly marked on the side YLM, this first picture is of a YLM
This next picture is of a YHM advance set up which is clearly what I have. 
Maybe I got caught up in a design/model number change but it sure has been a pain to figure out what the heck I've got here. May get a chance to play with this over the weekend. |
