I intalled my motor 6 moths ago by myself and as I was doing it the dizzy bumped againt the firewall kinda hard, then I preceded to teach myself how to wire up an ignition box. Latter found out I did it wrong and went back to how ti was stock. The dizzy is just a Mallory coil in cap unit. Nothing fancy.

Anyways, I ran into trouble with starting my motor and want to check if the Dizzy is 100% OK. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks

 

what does trouble mean?

your post was very vague.... and to answer it just as vague, you should fix your crap stock hei...

 

It is not stock.... It is a Mallory unit, like I stated before.

I just wanna know if there is a good way to test a dizzy.

Not sure what other details are needed to have you be able to give advice. If you need some other details, please let me know.

 

test for what?

there are multiple components to a distributor...

do yo wish to test the whole thing? or each component?

what problems are you getting?

....

 

Thats the thing, I am not sure what might be wrong with it.... I guess I need to try to start the motor again.... but problem is I have been having problems with the carb too.... I just wanna know if there is a good, way/place that I can test the main functions of the dizzy. I am sure the advance and stuff is all fine. I just am worried about the housing being a bit off, or the wires inside maybe being a bit off, also that big rubber bushing it has maybe being mis alligned..... It is just a $120 dizzy.... really nothing special.... It is in a pretty crazy motor. All roller, estimated by Trickflow to have around 500HP at the fly. My engine builder said it is a fine, cheap dizzy that will do the job.

I just was wondering if there is a good way to test it, so that if there is, and it comes out OK, then I can just concentrate on the carb.

Thanks.
