Mallory called today after testing the coil and distributor. They said the coil was fine, but they found a loose condenser on the printed circuit board of the distributor. They replaced the circuit board and tested it with my coil for 1 1/2 hours at different rpm's and it worked fine. They shipped it this morning so I should get it early next week. Believe it or not they did the work for free. Pretty amazing considering they have a 90 day warranty and these parts were bought more than 2 years ago. I'm very happy with their support and look forward to hearing the Cobra fire up again.

I asked if they were seeing very many of the Maxfires come in for repair. My thought was maybe it's not a great idea to have electronic stuff inside the distributor. She said they don't see any more of them than any of the other distributors they make. I guess that's good news. She said I could exchange it for a different model for an additional $120 if I wanted to go back to the old style mechanical advance. I'm going to stay with what I have.
