GENERAL INFORMATION
Check the ignition coil application to be sure it is being used in the prop-
er 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.
If your coil wire will not reach between the distributor cap and the igni-
tion 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.
PROMASTER

Ignition Coils:
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

Spark Plug Gaps:
For street applications, use your engine manufacturer’s specifications.
For racing applications, start with your engine manufacturer’s specifica-
tions, 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.
VOLTMASTER
®
Mark II Ignition Coils:
Step 1
Slide the coil wire through the black plastic cover and rubber gasket.
Step 2
Push the coil wire firmly into the high voltage terminal.
PROMASTER Ignition Coils:
Step 1
®
Step 3
Insert screws through the black plastic cover and rubber gasket. Tighten
screws until the rubber gasket starts to squeeze out around the edge of
the black plastic cover. See Figure 1B.
PROMASTER
®
Ignition Coils may be mounted at any angle. Find a suit-
able flat surface to mount the ignition coil.
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.
PROMASTER

IGNITION COIL
BOOT
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.

INFORMACIÓN GENERAL
Verifique en qué aplicación se va a usar la bobina de encendido para
estar seguro de que sea la aplicación correcta para obtener el máximo
rendimiento.
Cables de las bujias y de la bobina:
Para evitar disparos falsos y la posibilidad de fallas prematuras del
encendido, use cables de bujía del tipo con supresión.
gos Mallory para reemplazar el cable de la bujía. El juego Mallory para
reemplazar el cable de la bujía consiste de 1,21 m (4 pies) de un cable
de supresión de 8mm forrado de silicona que viene en un extremo con
un manguito recto para la bujía y terminal, y en el otro extremo con un
manguito en 90˚ para la bujía y terminal. Viene con manguitos para el
distribuidor con conectores machos (HEI) y hembras así como con ter-
minales que hacen que estos juegos sean ideales para la montura remo-
ta de un cable de encendido.

Espacios de luz en las bujías:
Para aplicaciones en la calle, siga las especificaciones del fabricante del
motor. Para aplicaciones en competencias, comience con las especifica-
ciones del fabricante y luego experimente con diferentes espacios de luz
para obtener el máximo rendimiento.
