Default Distributer problems

Put my new valve covers on started up the car to check for leaks and the car died after a minute and would not restart :mad
I just replaced the distributer for what seems to be the very same problem with ignition module.
I want to know if anyone else has had problems with Mallory distributers. :rolleyes:

You said you replaced the module so I'll assume it's a Unilite. Are you running a ballast resistor or off the resistor wire? It won't take 12 volts. Solid core wires are also killers.

Yes it has the balist resister but I'm not sure about the wire. :confused:
Thanks Bob
