Hey guys,

Who's running a non Model A & B distributor in their hopped up motors? What fairly modern distributor makes a good swap for theses old motors? I've heard before that a 70's Datsun distributor will work with some machining done to it but I have no idea which model the distributor came from.

I have used a old 50's Mallory before with good results but parts for them are hard to come by. Are the new Mallory's as good as the old ones?

Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Thanks.
