Mallory 685 Problems Well I couldn't get the car to start with the box hooked up. (Partly dead battery)
So I bypassed it with the loop connector.
Car started up.
Shut it off, hooked the box back up.
Starts up, let it run for like 30 seconds and the RPM next dropped from ~2000.
So I shut it off, tried playing with the Start Retard Timing. Had it set to 5*.
Changed it to .1*, tried cranking. Wouldn't go then boom backfire in the manifold.
I looped the connector and it started right up.
So obviously its something with the box.
Anyone know what the settings should be?

Searching around has seemed to yield people having problems. Such as the car not starting. I got mine to start just not idle right.
I'm going to move the start retard higher to like 6.5 and see what happens.

Well haha late on that.
I removed the grounds and power from under the hood and wire wheels all the bolts, and nuts and ring connectors. Put her back together and she starts right up with the box hooked up, even on the .1* degree setting. Still idles high but hoping thats because its cold. (Its in the garage don't want to let it warm up in there).
