[Tigers] Timing deviates - advice needed

[Tod Brown]

Gary:

I would agree with the others who have guessed that the distributor gear 
may be bad.

When you have figured it out and, if you want to keep the Mallory, then 
I would recommend that you change over to solid-state.  About ten years 
ago I found that PerTronix makes a replacement for the points in the 
Mallory dual point and that is what I installed at that time in my 
Mallory.    It's run great ever since.  No issues with the tach or 
anything.  A no brainer in my opinion.  Later on, I had Tom Hall convert 
my tach to electronic innards and that works as well (it should, the 
PerTronix uses a Hall-effect trigger, Ha!)  The PerTronix number is 
ML-181, I believe.  Available for about $72 from Summit.
