POINT NO. 1 Both the red point harness lead and the orange condensor lead must connect to this point when distributor is in this point. MALLORY COMP 9000 POINT ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE IMPORTANT: Apply a light film of Mallory distributor cam grease (supplied) on surface of cam to extend point life. NOTE: If dwell meter is not available, set each point gap at .018 .020 OR With connector unplugged, using the 8-cyl scale on your dwell meter, adjust the setting to read 26º 28º dwell angle. Proceed to Step 2 to attain total dwell setting. POINT NO. 2 Connect black point harness lead only to this point to ensure proper distributor adjustment and performance. NOTE: Turning wrench clockwise increases dwell angle. After reinserting plug connector, adjust the second set of points to the total dwell angle setting of 34º 36º, again using the 6-cyl scale on your dwell meter.
