Who is running a Mallory ignition for their TR6. After 3 rebuilds from "pros" (doesn't matter who), I am ready to throw in the towel. Would be willing to convert the tach to electric. Unilite? Just don't want to pay Moss' price. I think it can be gotten much cheaper elsewhere.

Bill............. another option is the 123 ignition https://www.123ignition.nl/brand/Triumph.html that has gotten good reviews, especially with the Mini crowd for which it was first developed. The downside is that you'd have to go to an electronic tach though there's talk in the 123 forum about retaining the mechanical tach. Or, keep your Smith tach and have it converted to electronic.

I've seen the Mallory's Unilite on various websites for much less then Moss. You'll have to google around. I'm running a Mallory dual point with vacuum advance on the TR3 that I bought on e-bay. It was brand new. I know, dual points on a four banger that won't see much more then 5000 rpm is overkill, but for the price I payed, it was less then having the original rebuilt. Also, the TR3 has a seperate tach drive.
The only thing I've ever heard bad about the Mallory units are that they had a bad batch of condensers awhile back, but that wouldn't apply to the Unilites.

Bill,
I'm running the Mallory unilite setup. If you want to talk about it PM me and I'll send you my cell phone.
It runs like stink.
Here is a link to what I did.

Bill,
If you end up getting different plug wires, Mallory part number 938 are some of the best. They're spiral core. It's a universal set for a v-8 so you'll have a couple spare wires.
good luck,

Art,
Mallory makes a kit for the 4cyl 2332001 non-vac dizzy. I bought mine through Amazon which was the lowest I could find at the time. Century is also a good dealer with tons of info on their site. ISTR I had to change everything except the cap. Added ballast and new coil with the kit. Different rotor too.
