I installed a Mallory crab type distributor on my '34 some years ago because I couldn't get the original one to work. I bought that distributor from Patrick's in Arizona. After 5k miles or so the bushings wore out and I couldn't get the points to hold their adjustment so I sent the original distributor to Charlie Schwendler to rebuild it. The car never ran better.
