The Mallory E-Spark is a less-expensive version of the Mallory Unilite. The Unilite, and the E-Spark are both very fragile in terms of over-voltage. Mallory cut corners when designing the things, they don't have appropriate protection circuitry or robust components. Mallory expects you to add a $40 ...

How about the vacuum diaphragm that unlocks the main shaft of the canister? Is it getting vacuum? Does it hold vacuum?

If your pan gasket is recent, and you're confident in the installation--start looking at the: 1. Modulator O-ring seal 2. Shift-shaft (manual shaft...

The obvious solution is to dump the front drum brakes, convert to disc brakes using the newer steering knuckle which also gets you the newer bearings. I bet you could buy the parts for the same or less than the new bearings--but there'd be some extra labor in the conversion. Of course, the disc brak...

I may have a line on a '73 Eldo's knuckles for cheap, thus the question. Far as I know, you're much better off to use the wheel bearings from the '73. C...
