Most of the mallorys i do have too much advance and seem to work ok on the bottom end. Very seldom do i see a slow one.......

My bet is on fuel issues.....
Hope Tomorrow to have a good response without air filter screens....if no....i need to register that Mallory mech advance....i was thinking to solve the problem when i buy from you the pertronix, new coil and plug wires....put new plugs too ..but after a short trip the car restart to hesitate and i see fouled plugs....changed plugs from ngk b6l to ngk b4l that are more hot...color in plugs is better but sure engine became more hot....they are not the summer plugs for sure.....Today i checked volts in the system....at battery 12,4volts ...with engine running i have the 14,2volts from alternator....so i think is working...at the coil from battery i have 13,2 volts.....no ballast in line...
