Help!!! Mallory Zb distributor housing weld repair

[tubman]

That looks like a good repair. When you consider that the distributors with the extended lower shaft have a much shorter upper support surface, that should be more the enough.

Mike : The points for these (Mallory # 24875B, I believe) show up on eBay all the time. In addition, I have found an equivalent Echlin set from NAPA that will substitute in a pinch. In the alternative, I will take the distributor off your hands for a good price (if you still have it).
