Mallory Ignition Module 605_609 - Manual (Page 2)

INSTALLATION AND ELECTRICAL WIRING PROCEDURE
PN 605/UNILITE ® MODULE: Apply a thin coat of silicone grease to the
bottom of the module before mounting the module to its plate in the dis-
tributor.
PN 609 and PN 605: Slide the three wires from the MODULE, through
the grommet, to outside the distributor housing. Put the three wires from
the MODULE in the TERMINAL PIN HOUSING: GREEN WIRE in hole
#1, BROWN WIRE in hole #2, RED WIRE in hole #3. Plug the three wire
harness (PN 29349, not supplied with this kit) into the TERMINAL PIN
HOUSING.
WARNING: Make sure that the vehicle is originally equipped from
the factory with an ignition ballast resistor or loom resistance wire
from the ignition switch to the coil (+) terminal. If the vehicle is not
originally equipped from the factory with an ignition ballast resistor
or loom resistance wire, a Mallory ballast resistor, PN 700, must be
installed in series on the wire from the ignition switch to the coil (+)
terminal. See a service manual for the vehicle for further information.
For example, vehicles equipped with Ford TFI, or Delco HEI ignition
require the installation of a Mallory ballast resistor, PN 700. Failure to
use a resistor will result in the eventual destruction of the module.

Reluctor
Set gap (between .007" – .010")
when a tooth on the reluctor is
pointing directly at the center of
the metal pole on the magnetic
pickup. Tighten the magnetic
pickup mounting nuts.
To set pickup gap:
Loosen the two magnetic
pickup mounting nuts.
A .0075" polyester gauge is provided to assist in setting the pickup gap.
Connect the three wires as follows:
If a HYFIRE
® or other aftermarket ignition control is being used, connect
the MODULE according to the instructions supplied with the HYFIRE ® or
aftermarket ignition control.
RED WIRE: Power/voltage for the MODULE. Connect to coil (+) terminal.
GREEN WIRE: Ignition trigger. Connect to coil (–) terminal.
BROWN WIRE: Ground for the MODULE. Connect to ENGINE BLOCK
GROUND. Clean away any grease, oil, and paint from the
mounting surface before the connection is made.

NOTE—
If your vehicle is difficult to
start, remove the red wire
from the plus (+) side of the
ignition coil and connect it
to the ignition switch side of
the ballast resistor.
