APPLICATIONS
Part No. 558 Mallory 8 cylinder point distributors (automotive and marine) which use a standard stack cap (Part No. 209 or 209D) Part No. 559 Mallory 8 cylinder point distributors (automotive and marine) which use a flat cap (Part No. 221 or 221B) Part No. 560 Mallory 6 cylinder point distributors (automotive and marine) which use a standard stack cap (Part No. 270 or 270B) Part No. 561 Mallory 6 cylinder point distributors (automotive and marine) which use a mini bowl cap (Part No. 226 or 226B) Part No. 562 Mallory 4 cylinder point distributors (automotive and marine) which use a standard stack cap (Part No. 271 or 271B) Part No. 563 Mallory 4 cylinder point distributors (automotive and marine) which use a mini bowl cap (Part No. 225 or 225B) PARTS INCLUDE IN THIS KIT:
1 UNILITE ® Plate Assembly
1 Wire Harness
1 Rotor/Shutter Wheel Assembly (PN 559 contains
2 rotor/shutter wheel assemblies)
1 Wire Connector
1 Grommet, 3-Hole (Marine Approved)
2 Pins, Aluminum
1 Thrust Button
You must install the UNILITE® Conversion Kit exactly as shown in these instructions. After the kit is installed— and before you start the engine— check all wiring again. Mis-wiring will cause the UNILITE ® Ignition to fail immediately. INSTALLATION Step 1 Remove the cap and rotor, then remove the con- denser. Remove the plastic insulators (see Figure 1). Step 2 Loosen the 2 nuts that hold the cap clips/brackets in place (see Figure 1). NOTE: To loosen the nuts on a marine distributor, the aluminum pins in the brackets may need to be cut in two and removed. Replacement pins are provided. Step 3 Remove the point plate assembly by lifting it out of the housing (see Figure 1). MALLORY IGNITION www.mrgasket.com 1 IMPORTANT All kits listed below must be used with an ignition ballast resistor (or loom resistance wire) to prevent module failure. If your vehicle is not equipped with a ballast resistor or loom resistance wire, Mallory Ballast Resistor (Part No. 700) may be used. These kits do not work with vacuum advance distributors.

Printed in U.S.A. FOR MARINE USE ONLY After installing your Mallory Electronic Distributor, the Electronic Shift Assist (ESA) circuit in your boat must be function tested.Shifting into or out of gear can be difficult or impossible if the ESA circuit is malfunctioning or missing. If you encounter shifter related problems with your boat after installing any Mallory distributor, contact the Mallory Technical Service Department at 216.688.8300. All Mallory Marine Electronic Ignition Systems in Outboard Marine Corp (OMC) applications with a shift box require the gray wire from the coil to the shift box be modified as follows: The gray wire from the coil (–) terminal triggers the shift box. The gray wire should be cut or disconnected at the coil terminal so that the components shown here can be inserted. Solder all connections and confirm correct operation, then insulate well, especially if the boat is being used in salt water.
