Never used a Mallory, but I would think you would need some initial timing to start out. I would get a timing scale and maybe start with 12 degrees or so initial and see what the advance curve is. Maybe adjust to 30 degrees total by 2,000 rpm and go from there. Adjust for max timing with no pinging while driving.
