Replaces Entire Breaker Plate - Never Adjust Points or Timing Again!
Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit for Centrifugal-advance 8-cylinder Mallory Distributors
The Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion kit replaces breaker points and condenser in the distributor to provide rock-solid reliability. With the Hot-Spark electronic ignition, dwell and timing are always spot-on accurate.
No matter how strong your engine is, you won't get the most out of it without a good spark. The stock, points-based ignition system used technology that dates back a century - to the Kettering system, which was introduced in the 1910 Cadillac. Even though you can adjust breaker points for near-electronic ignition performance, they will burn and wear within a few thousand miles, long before the recommended replacement interval. With points, the timing will drift; power and fuel economy will suffer.
The Hot-Spark electronic ignition conversion kit delivers a strong spark every time and is maintenance-free. You'll notice quicker starts, more top end power and a little gas mileage boost. It's as easy to install as points and condenser!

-
The best investment you'll ever make for your vehicle
-
Saves precious ($$$) fuel
-
Coil with 3.0 Ohms or more internal, primary resistance required.
-
Beru Germany Blue Coil is ideal for HotSpark ignition kits.
-
Requires a 12-volt, negative ground electrical system.
-
External Ballast Resistor: If the charging system voltage, measured at the coil's + terminal, is more than 14.0 volts at any RPM level, the voltage regulator likely needs replacing or a 1.4 Ohm ballast resistor should be wired between the coil's + terminal and the red HotSpark ignition wire. Too much voltage can damage the ignition module and other electronic components.

3MAL8U1 - For 8-Cylinder, Non-Vacuum-Advance Mallory Distributor with Points
The 3MAL8U1 ignition kit replaces the entire Mallory 8-cylinder marine
distributor's breaker plate, along with points, condenser, etc.
The 3MAL8U1
ignition kit is designed to fit Mallory 8-cylinder, non-vacuum-advance marine
distributors only; it won't fit distributors with electronic ignition already
installed.
The 3MAL8U1 "breaker plate" is the same shape and size as the original breaker points
plate.
The 3MAL8U1 electronic ignition conversion kit must be used with a coil that has
at least 1.5 Ohms primary resistance.
