Distributer Parts

Post by CaptTPT » Wed Aug 04, 2021 11:03 pm

1951 CC RR refitted with 400 ci SBC. No idea when, where, by who, or anything else. Boat obtained in divorce settlement by wife who knows nothing about it. Distributer is old Mallory dual point refitted with Mallory Unilite electronic module. No idea when. Distributer body has 24100 V cast into the side. Spoke with Holley. They were zero help. This does not look like a marine distributer, but it is a strictly mechanical advance so could be. Need to find a cap that will fit. Any ideas how to reference this would be much appreciated.

Do the plug terminals go up or sideways?

NO. My books go back maybe 40 years. All horizontal caps seem to be the same. There are several straight up caps. No numbers like yours. Usually they are stamped in to a tag not cast in to the body.

So my next question is how to come up with a new distributer that will fit. Any ideas for that?

Anybody know where I can find original parts books for CC in the 60’s to 70’s range?
