Mallory, for the most part, is like the K-mart of ignition parts. Their bearings wear out faster, their coils build up resistance faster than any others, but hey, they have cool stickers!

Do whatever your engine builder wants, but I wouldn't use a Mallory dual point if it was given to me.



Take care,

Thanks, your help is greatly apprecaited and considered cause I'm kicking myself in the a*s right now. How much hp does the stickers add in performance? I will try to stop by at lunch and confirm if that is the one he (put/is putting) in and see how that goes and ask him why he thinks it's the best bet for me.

Thanks again Chris,
I'm makin' sure I ask for your advice before I do anything next. Who else makes good Distributors?
