I have a Model 2571601 3 bolt front-mount Mallory. I'm replacing its points with genuine Mallory units. There is little specific info out there on points gap; I've read anywhere from .022 to .028. Called Mallory tech, they can't help. However, I did find online a tech sheet from Mallory dated 08.17, which covers Models 2572001 and 2527501, but they are completely different distributors. I also want to limit advance to 18 degrees, as the engine has a B&M blower. Does anyone have a spec sheet they could post? Any assistance most appreciated.
