Mallory Ignition Parts

Marlin,

The brass thing is an original Mallory condenser. I am pretty sure I found it on ebay. If you put "vintage Mallory" in Ebay search they come up with some regularity (1 to 2 x /month) although they're getting pricey i.e. I've seen transactions at upwards of $60 for an NOS in the box. Most who sell them don't know how to test them so that is a crap shoot - on the other hand they generally hold up well over time. Many will have slight splits in the brass casing but this does not necessarily affect performance and can be rotated on the dizzy to hide the split. The clips are the original cap clips on the Mallory dizzy that the Roofs used in their Deuce. I did my own plating to restore them to their original luster. Now that would be a fun father/son project!

Thanks Sam, I'm cleaning up the unit that I have, and will install a breakerless module inside as well - turns out they have different modules for the 4 lobe vs 8 lobe dizzy's! I have a 4 lobe unite which I assume is a 'Double Life' - guess I need to find one of those tags as well.....

So, looking back on this thread what was the conclusion on the Mallory setup?

- stick with a stock GM unit, perhaps with an under-the-cap conversion
- Mallory single point with Mallory coil
- Mallory double point with Mallory coil
- Mallory rev pol with 'strip' switch and Mallory coil

I need to decide on the initial setup to install in Ben's Nova within the next week or so.....

For a nice vintage look and good performance a Mallory YC-310-HP or its variants will do a nice job. Parts are readily available.

Can you install a breakerless kit under the cap?

[mockingbird812]
