This may be off topic, but how do I set up a Mallory distributor? The timing cover appears to be the same as an A cover and the Mallory advance appears to be the same as a B distributor. The piston is at TDC with the pin dropped into the flywheel dimple and that is the way things set now. BTW, I had a distributor drive shaft made to put the slot in the center in order to mesh with the Mallory distributor.
