Mallory Unilite Issue

[jonpblewis@yaho]

I've had a unilight for years now. Can't say what happened with your ground but I had some problems with modules going out when I first got it and was about to ditch the thing. With modules going for $118. Then I installed one of thees to clean up the power going to it and discovered that the Accel Module was exactly the same for $55 or so. Haven't had a Problem in many years now.

I can not agree with that statement. Nothing Mallory has made in the last 20+ years deserves that description. Some of the original Accel points stuff was exceptionally well designed, but since their purchase by the same holding company as Mallory it has all been dropped and replaced with re-badged Mallory product. From their inception to about the middle 60's Mallory stuff was the best you could buy. Has not been that way for a long, long time.

+11teen!!!

Guess I've just been unusually lucky with the 8 or 10 I've run over the last 25 years. Still running four of them now; two in boats and two in trucks...

Speaking of the older Mallory stuff, I recently resurrected and restored a vintage Mallory dual point for a '62 Falcon gasser project. Played heck finding some parts for it but did get it working perfectly again.

I installed a uni lite in my firebird back in 80/81. Been flawless since. Of course it's no longer a daily driver.

Sad that with all the advancements in technology and manufacturing so much is low bid crap.....
