Unilite help

OK, first of all NO SLAMMING MY UNILITE! I have seen the posts of the issues some have had. This has been in my car for over 20 years with zero issues.

But, I do have a question. After my recent engine rebuild and cam swap I need to recurve the distributor. I odered the springs for it but have no instructions on how to access thm. After pulling the rotor and removing the light module how do I remove the cover tha shields the springs? Mallory has been bought out and I sat on hold today for WAY TOO long. So I though I would come here..

 

Loosen the screws on the side then the plate will lift up to access the springs and total timing limiter some have a tab to bend to limit total the newer ones have a set screw you loosen. I`ve had both

 

Got it, thanks! I did not want to strat removing screws until I knew which ones. I kept envisioning springs flying around the garage.

 

No prob if you need anything else I still have the directions for mine.

 

It seems like you just did a rebuild(memory?). If you added a roller cam
in your build, you do know that you need a distributor gear to withstand that cam, right? Just thought I would mention that since lots of people
don't realize it.

Now that your question is answered can we start slamming your Unilight?

 

Slam AWAY!!! I went with the comp cam 282s non roller. And yes, I LIKE MY UNILITE! It has the same module for over 20 yrs. I just need to get a few more degrees at 3000 than the factory curve gives me. Who will slam first???

 

Scotty, you shouldn't have JINX'd your success

 

Uh...can you say Unlit???

 

Have not jinx'd it yet. Just getting more advance into the engine.

 

In all honesty, I ran one years ago and after burning two of them out I got a good one and it ran forever. It was still working when I sold the car. But Unlit! GET IT! I crack me up!
