Early Hemi Owners Distributor Poll

As a reference for a future project, I am trying to get some feedback as to what type of distributor you are running...or plan to run. Thanks.

By vintage Mallory I am referring to the YC series. (cast housings, etc)

Aftermarket dual point referring to the YL and 25 series. (machined housing, etc.)

 

Huh? DeSoto 291 OEM is what I'm planning to keep............
What's all this dual point?

 

You need a "other" box to check!
I like my Grant Spalding Flamethrower and will be building a Vertex Mag

Or oem dual point with mechanical advance instead of va***

MSD. But I developed a preference for MSD ignitions back when I built & drove Chevys.

 

One Vertex mag in the 392 and modified 318 electronic in the 330 DeSoto and the 354.

 

270 dodge stock distributor trigering a mopar 4 pin module

 

good ole mopar electronic in one and a mopar 318 points with a pentronix conversion in another

 

Vertex

 

sorry, a chevy mallory with adapter

 

Sorry, I don't fit into any of your categories, so I can't vote. I have a Cirello "Frankenstein" on my vintage dirt car ( my avatar).

 

Tom, I'll continue to push the Mopar electronic as my favorite. Not a fan of the billet look.

Stock dizzy with Pertronix guts in my 331, still stock in my 241.

 

I have to say that I am somewhat surprised so far, as to the lack of interest in aftermarket dual point. I suppose in all reality, there would be not much to gain there over the stock distributor, other than the look of a Mallory.

 

I am planning on a short deck desoto for my T, I have a cast iron 273 dual point, I was planning on using that with the Hot Heads intermediate shaft. If a vintage Mallory was available to me, I would be interested in that. Are you thinking about approaching mallory about a limited run or something?
I would also consider a mag if I can find one for a reasonable price. Electronic distributors and pertronix conversions do NOT figure into my plans at all.

 

Just toying at conversions of existing units. Bascially like the Pertronix that I did with the adjustable collar.

 

I'm using a modified 318 Mopar distributor. But being a electronics geek, I'm using a '76 GM 4 pin ignition module to trigger the coil. I like unusual things like that. I mounted it under my dash so it's not seen.
