Mallory Dual Point Distributor ZC313A

[Sickboy49]

I am starting a new thread because the first thread was about HEI, and then the Mallory Dual Point. So in order to help anyone in the future I started this thread. So I came across a Mallory Dual Point Distributor because I do not want to go the electronic route. I am searching for a cap, rotor, points and condenser for the unit. Manglass (Thank you) gave me a link to a site where someone may be able to help me locate parts:

MALLORY

MALLORY IGNITION REBUILDS

www.bubbasignition.com

I am also trying my local NAPA and an independent parts store near me. I will keep a list here of newer parts that will work in this unit. In my research I found the following:

Points Part Number Original: 24875-B
Points Part Number Echlin: CS2301

Many times those Condenser's don't really need to be changed, If there is no sign of the Points transferring any Metal than the Condenser is still good.

Couple listing with the Mallory Points and some other Parts​

Thanks Bubba! I saw that 2040 listing yesterday, but I have never used that site since it looks a little "wonky" for buying things off of. Anybody order off 2040? I will check out the Ebay listing today. Also i am attaching a bunch of information I found yesterday. Setup guides... original part listings, and possibly some Enchlin part numbers

unfortunately only 2 of 5 from post #3 show.
I went to "2040" & gota Philly realtor rather than a clear-up of the 2 missing...

What an adventure this has been. I have spent the last 3 evenings cross-referencing Mallory part numbers to any parts manufacturer that I can find. Below is a list of parts that will (hopefully) work with this dizzy. I am taking it to the parts store Friday to verify.

So this saga continues...... I went to clean up the distributor last night and found that the vacuum advance piston and spring are missing. I am going to call the gentlemen that took over bubbasigination (thank you Manglass) to see if he can do anything for me. I will keep you all posted.

 

[Sickboy49]

The gentlemen that was listed on bubbasignition web site still rebuilds the old Mallory units. Depending what they need the cost is around $200. The project is back on track on.... WooHoo! Below is his information for anyone else that needs to rebuild their distributor.

So I updated the parts lists of what works and what doesn't. Still searching for a modern replacement distributor cap, points, and condenser.

NAPA? (has ol ford tractor stuff, marine). NPD? (has some old stuff)...

A lot of boat engines used Mallory Distributors back in the day, might be another direction to search in for a cap ?

[Sickboy49]

Chad and Danny... thank you for the advice I have been searching marine places as well. Still no luck, but I am going to keep searching.

 

[Sickboy49]

Quick thought. I bet the points that work in the Loadomatic will work in the Mallory. I will have to check when I get it back from the rebuild.

That or matching up some other points from who know what. I'd be looking at different ones to try to find a match. Then you'd have easy replacements. Points are points as far as function.

 

[Sickboy49]

Frank,
That is my thought exactly. It really just comes down to the shape of the base, and the screw holes.

 

[Sickboy49]

So the search continues for a newer designed cap. I just bought a NOS flat top cap off of e-bay just to have a spare.

 

[Sickboy49]

Getting the distributor back from the rebuild today. I should have it installed this weekend. Fingers crossed that it works better then the load-o-matic.

Good deal! Did you find a source for replacement points?
