Anybody ever run a Mallory Unilite?

Pete,
according to mallory's website, you must run a ballast resistor. Heres a link:

Yes.
They suck donkey balls for multiple reasons.

Ya, I printed the schematic for it with the ballast resistor, but I guess my main question is, Is "power filter" just an over-priced different name for "ballast resistor"? If that's the case, my junk already has one wired in dangling behind the alternator so it isn't visible to the unteained eye ;-)

I figured it was free and way better than the points.....I got the cap and rotor today from summit but the little springloaded dick-for on the inside of the cap broke during shipping.....maybe it's an omen of things to come.....err, cum....

You might want to re-figure. As DR.FORD said they are garbage. Sell it, trade it, do what ever and then get yourself a B motor electronic distributor, make sure the wiring and pick-up are good, set the reluctor/pick-up gap and then get a chrome or gold ignition box. The only thing I had that worked better was an MSD Crank Trigger and 7 AL2, and that was only at very high rpm. My car started much quicker with the stock electronic guts and the gold box.

I have a stock Mopar electronic distributor and a chrome box (all used)....so I could go that route...it's more of a last resort because finding a place to mount it is a bit of an issue. (it's going in a t-bucket and I don't want it on the firewall). I was looking at an MSD but don't really have the cash for it.

You won't need an MSD unless you're planning on some sort of forced induction or nitrous. As for your chrome box, you could either mount it on the other side of the firewall in the passenger compartment, or maybe down on the frame somewhere. You have a much better ignition system than that Unijunk. I'd use it. Just be a little creative on where you mount the box.

agreed,not too tough to make long wiring
