Going Day II with my Z/28

[NorCam]

Looks like I need to talk to Mike Mancini and/or Sam to see if he can copy the docs he has for this unit. Hopefully someone has the wiring instructions as well. Those would be helpful when it comes time to install this.

I'm also hoping those quotes of it being stable at high rpm ranges hold true as I plan to buzz this 302 to the moon when it's all done.

I spoke with Jim today regarding these Rev-Pol units and have agreed that it'll be left running with the points and condenser once restored. He said the 4 lobe cams work fantastic and these units make a great spark right up to 9000+ rpm without bounce. He's currently running one in his dragster and has done so for the past 10 years.

Looking for some NOS wires for this one now. I'm thinking orange...

Can you still run an old style CD box like a Delta Mark or a Jacobs/Motion with your setup?

Should be able to run Capacitive Discharge although there is a CD specific coil that Mallory made, but am not sure why that would be necessary. I plan on using a Mallory CD setup on my Chevelle for the MCACN show. So, I'll let you know how it goes.

Edit: I believe I have original instructions for wiring a Mallory CD set up. I'll take a look.

Yes, you can run a CD Box with the Mallory 4 cam dual point. But ONLY With Suppression Type Ignition wires. Cannot Use Solid Core Wires.
Pertronix also offers an electronic conversion for the 4 Cam. It's the series/Phase II W/O Rev Limiter.

If Sam can't find his instructions, I have a set I can text copies of.
He's also correct on the CD Electronic Ign Coil.
They are used for the Amp variations plus to sustain the excessive volts well above 40,000.
My droid pics are too large to post. I also can't resize them.

I got a set of Rev-Pol instructions and date sheets from Sam last week. I am now awaiting a test of the ignition and coil to see how everything fairs. If by chance the coil is weak, I'd be interested in learning more about the CD and will also wait to hear how Sam makes out. For now, I am searching for a set of solid core wires to use with the RP kit.

Interesting stuff here so please feel free to add on. If you want to email pics to me, I can resize them and post them here.

oldgasoline101 at gmail is the address to send pics.

Here you go. Note that instructions shown are for the Mallory Super CD for both points and IR setups in the distributor. Also, the coil shown (model 28880) is a dedicated coil for the CD ignition system. However take a look at the note regarding "High Performance Option" (half way down the page) it states that a Voltmaster II coil (model 28675) can be used.

Sam this forum is so awesome with you guys having parts like these so we can learn more about them, thanks for the pictures clears up a lot of questions............

[NorCam]

I'll second that one. Great info Sam...
