Mine is a 68 Camaro with a 427. The distributor is an older Unilite with a new module. I recently had a very old Mallory coil 29219 fail. I had an older Bosch coil at the shop that I installed and it worked. Today I installed a new Edlebrock coil PN 22739. The engine fired right up and runs and sounds great. Do any of you see a problem with these parts playing well together?
Thank you as always!

I see no problem using the Edelbrock coil

 

Does the Unilite Dizzy spec a OHM rating for the coil it requires?

 

Mallory (holley) said that the 29219 is correct. Hopefully the ebrock is close.

 

yeah they are both 1.4 ohm coils

 

So far so good. Today I test drove it. Made it home. At hi rpm it did flutter a little. Got to work that out.

 

Is the wire with the cloth cover going to the coil a resistor wire. 1967 camaro
thanks,
Scott

 

Yes, that is the resistor wire

 

Yes, if you measure the volts, its around 8

 

Please let me know if you can solve my issue. It has to do with voltage at the coil. I removed the ballast resistor and now have the cloth covered wire going to the + coil. The dist is a Mallory Unilite and the coil is Edelbrock PN22739 Should work in place of Mallory 29219.
Things were great until today on the way home. I could feel it coming on. The spark seems to fade away after 10 miles or so.
I was able to make it home by jumping the coil with full voltage. The jumper went from the back of the alternator to the +coil.
If possible please recommend the best way to power the coil. I have not replaced the ignition switch yet.
Thank you!
