2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
7. Install the Unilite module onto the mounting plate using the supplied screws. Push the twires through the hole
in the bottom of the distributor bowl and slide the new rubber grommet over the wires and into the hole. There
is also a plastic wire support that helps secure the wires on some applications. Be sure the wires are routed
away from the spinning shaft and rotor assembly.
8. The two piece shutter wheel installs as follows:
A. Locate one part of the shutter wheel under the rotor drive plate opposite the electronic module. Rotate
this part between optic posts on the module.
B. Locate the other half of the shutter wheel under the rotor drive plate and line it up with the rst half.
C. Assemble the two halves through the rotor plate and rotor with the supplied 8-32 hex machine screws and
nuts. Ensure the head of the screw is recessed into the shutter assembly.
Note: Some late model Delco distributors using a light colored factory rotor may require to shorten the rotor locating
stud. If this occurs, simply le the locating stud down to approximately 1/8”.
9. If the distributor was removed, prepare it for installation again. Lower the distributor into the engine making
sure the rotor comes to rest at the same position as it was removed. Also ensure that the housing is seated all
the way down before installing the distributor clamp. DO NOT FORCE!
10. There are three wires from the Unilite that need to be connected:
RED – Connects to the Ballast Resister (Figure 2).
GREEN – Connect to the coil negative (-) terminal
BROWN – Connect to a solid, clean engine ground.
11. Reinstall the distributor cap and wires making sure the number one wire is positioned on the number one
terminal aligned with the rotor tip. Install the remaining wires.
12. Start the engine and conrm oil pressure. If the distributor was removed you will need to check and adjust the
ignition timing.
