    just got a used Mallory from a friend of mine was in working order and looks new. Is it as simple and drop in and go or do I need the Mallory ignition module, or do I cut and splice the wires. Any help would be great!

    First determine if the dist you have is plug and play (stand alone unit) or if it needs a box to operate,then hook it up accordingly.
    You can go to malloryperformance.com and copy instructions for your app.

    how do you tell, It looks a lot like a factory dist , but the wires will not connect to the factory harness

    No PN# on it huh?? Its probably a duraspark style replacement.If so it requires a DS box to work.Check out the mallory site...Time to go hunting for info.Sorry I cant give you more info but W/O a proper PN# I dont want to send you in the wrong direction.
