Hi Huw...
I pulled the following out of old email storage archives
on my local machine from back in 1999. The entire email follows

Subject: Re: mallory part number
well, thanks to all who gave me speedy responses to my
inquirey(sp?).
here's what's going on:
last night, my engine started making some noise and i think i
tracked it down to the distributor, but i want to do some more
tests to confirm it before i replace it.
if i have to replace it, i think i want to go with a mallory
dual point setup. if i did that, there is a local wholesale
shop that sells performance products, including mallory. so i
looked up on the internet, and downloaded the mallory parts
catalog. well, it lists applications for early 4cyl. TR's
(2-4a), but not the spitfire. vicy-brit sells mallory, why
aren't the listed in the catalog? that's when i called upon the
list for help. turns out that the distributors listed in the
mallory catalog for the TR's will fit the spitfire. and here is
the result:
the mallory part numbers are: 2332001 (mech. advance)
2732001 (vacuum advance)
(electronic ignition-->) 4532001 (mech. advance)
(electronic ignition-->) 4732001 (vacuum advance)
the last 2 part numbers are electronic ignition distributors.
they are quite pricy, but they are probably built better and
last longer than conversion kits.
oh, by the way, i can get the mallory distributor from the local
shop for $149.95 +tax (and probably shipping) as opposed to
spending the $200+ to get it from moss or vicy-brit.
