Technical Mallory Distributor part help needed

I have a Mallory distributor for my Ford Model A banger. Dist number 2301105. I need a cap #271 because the little carbon conductor is gone.
I have searched high and low. Mallory is out of stock. Summit, Jegs etc. same. Ebay nothing. Can anyone help?
Thanks

 

Check brillman

 

.



i wondered the same thing, My cap is 3.25 where it sits on the distributor. They don't give dimensions

 

Brillman? Was just in NH. From WI to VT and then Owls Head ME for the Pinetree Jamboree

 

I found Brillman. Thanks. I will reach out on Monday. Looks like an interesting resource

 

If the cap is good just needing the carbon ****on can you just get one from a different cap?

 

I was there also!
Thanks for coming out!!!
What a great time.
Did you post a thread on your adventure?

 

I posted this awhile back. Maybe having a different part number may help? MA12 Echlin looks like it's still available from NapaOnline but boy they are pricy!

Nope. We had two bangers; My daughter Molly #3 and son Andy #11. And we kicked ***!

 

Thats great. I remember seeing you two. Very cool.

 

I've had a similar problem with my V8 Mallory cap, ****on damaged & out of stock....

 

Same on the '34 coupe. I fought dizzy issues all weekend at pinetree. Ordered a reg cap that is supposed to work on the mallory yc.

 

Any chance of a part #?

 

$99 for the cap......

 

Thanks. I will go and acurately measure the diameter. So I guess if you use every other plug wire terminal the only thing affected would be the dwell?

 

Why would it affect the dwell?

 

Thinking eight lobes vs four on the point cam means 1/2 as much time for coil saturation. Probably not an issue.

 

I saw/heard a 34 coupe that wasn't running well. That yours?

 

My cap measures the same in the counter bore that seats on the distributor. Radial location is by a 1/8" pin that sticks out from the body and engages the slot in the cap

 

Im thinking it probably was me.

 

But all they are changing is the cap, not the point cam.
