FORM 1528 (REV. B) 02/04 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PROMASTER® IGNITION COIL PART NO. 29450 LIST OF PARTS: 1 1 1 1 Ignition Coil Ignition Coil Bracket Part No. 29227 Screw, #10 x 1" Coil Wire Boot 1 Coil Wire Terminal 2 Ring Terminals 3 Screws, #10 x 3/4" GENERAL INFORMATION Check the ignition coil application to be sure it is being used in the proper application for optimum performance. Spark Plug Wires and Coil Wire To prevent false triggering and possibility of premature ignition failures, use suppression type spark plug wire. We recommend spiral core ignition wire, such as Mallory PRO SIDEWINDER® 8MM Suppression Ignition Wire or carbon core ignition wire, such as Mallory PRO WIRE® 8MM Suppression Ignition Wire or Mallory SPRINT WIRE® 8MM Suppression Ignition Wire. If your coil wire will not reach between the distributor cap and the ignition coil, we suggest using one of the Mallory Spark Plug Wire Replacement Kits. The Mallory Spark Plug Wire Replacement Kit is a 4 ft. length of 8mm Silicone Jacketed Suppression Wire assembled with a straight spark plug boot and terminal on one end, and a 90° spark plug boot and terminal on one end. Supplied with male (HEI), and female socket type distributor boots and terminals that make these kits ideal for remote mounting an ignition coil. Mallory Spark Plug Wire Replacement Kits • Part No. 919, PRO SIDEWINDER® 8MM Suppression Ignition Wire (red) Spark Plug Gaps For street applications, use your engine manufacturer’s specifications. For racing applications, start with your engine manufacturer’s specifications, then experiment with, and closely monitor, various gaps to achieve maximum performance. MOUNTING PROCEDURE Ignition coils should be mounted on a flat surface as close as possible to the distributor and away from extreme heat from engine components. DO NOT mount ignition coils to the engine. Step 2 Center punch the mounting pattern using the ignition coil bracket as a template to mark locations for drilling holes. Drill holes using a 9/64" drill bit. Step 3 Mount the ignition coil bracket using three #10 x 3/4" screws. Step 4 Slide the ignition coil into the ignition coil bracket. Mount the ignition coil in the ignition coil bracket with the #10 x 1" screw. COIL WIRE INSTALLATION Step 1 Strip 5/8" of insulation from the coil wire. Fold the core over the outside of the coil wire. Step 2 Put the coil wire terminal on the end of the coil wire and crimp the connection. Step 3 Slide the coil wire into the coil wire boot. Install the coil wire on the high voltage terminal. See Figure 1. WIRING PROCEDURE See page 2 for wiring diagrams and information NOTE: This coil is not optimized for use with aftermarket ignition controls, such as the Mallory HYFIRE®. If you are using an aftermarket ignition control, please contact our customer service department at 216.688.8300 for information on proper coil application. Step 1 PROMASTER® Ignition Coils may be mounted at any angle. Find a suitable flat surface to mount the ignition coil.
