Randy I have the mallory dual point with a big yellow accel coil. works
excellent lots of spark, never lets me down. It has a cap that sends the
wires out the sides. Reminds me of the old flame thrower dist. on
flathead fords. any way I think they used that cap to clear the hood
because the mallory seems to sit up a little higher than the stock dist.
