<<Anyone care to elaborate on what needs to be done to the Mallory dual
points distributor to install it in one's B?  Something about drilling
a hole in the shaft?  Can this bit be farmed out to a machining shop or
garage for the workshop impared?>>

We have tried these on the race cars and found them to be a waste of time, and
certainly no better than a stock distributor in good shape. They improve the
vendor's bottm line more than they improve your performance. At least one set
of points doesn't open at any given time and they can give certain type of
tach the fits.
I'm not really sure why anyone wants them, unless they believe the advertising
hype.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
And yes, the stock drive must be pinned to the shaft, and you _must_ use a V
block and drill press to drill it accurately.
