Race distributor

[A/MP]

I thought that MSD made a /6 race distributor. Any alternatives? Thanks

Nope, they quit makin it. Pertronix still makes their stuff though.

Mallory? Dunno if they still make theirs....

Why do you need a race distributor? There are several options.
1: a stock recurved electronic dist.
2: A stock fixed (lean burn) dist, and a digital box that allows a custom curve
3: Crank trigger, and coil on plug system.

Myself I run a "lean burn" dist fixed at 15-20 degrees (depends on how much nitrous), and a MSD 6 box. Not good for a street car.

Could not find a quality rebuild kit for the factory electronic distributor. Thought that aftermarket distributor would be the best choice.

I think MSD bought Mallory.

If you are patient you might find an old Unilite on ebay.

No, it isn't mine. If it was cheaper I would buy it for me.

That is not a good choice for a street car. There is no vacuum advance, so fuel milage will suffer.
Also MSD did buy Mallory, and I would be concerned that repair/replacement parts will become hard to find.

I also run the fixed lean burn dist and msd box and a dial timing control on my dash.
