Topic: conversion to 12 volt

  Have a built 286ci 59A engine which was running fine until converted to 12v. All wiring completed but won't start due to no spark at plugs thru Mallory dist. Any suggestions? Thx

  You have asked a very tough question. You did not say which Mallory dist that you have or give us any idea of what you have tried before.

I can only give you one suggestion - check the voltage at the coil.

You can also call Mallory Tech support for help.

  Is the Mallory an electronic or point style distributor? If electronic(Unilite)somehow you may have had an electrical spike(especially if you have a generator) and it knocked out the module. we need more info.
