    Hi,
    I have a few distributors the two are dual points. And the single in the pic is a unilite.
    1. Can i buy aftermarket points for the dual point distributors?
    Maybe a delco or standard? There are easy to get from Rockauto.
    Getting parts here in New ealand isn't a easy process.
    2. The unilite i have is it a conversion from points?
    I tryed to replace the gear and the pin bore is offset. Unlike chevy dizzys.
    3. Can i install the unilite parts into one of the dual point housings?
    4. Part number for the 600V condenser?
    Thanks for any help.
    Steve
    Small and Big block Chevy distributors.

    The points fit Mallory distributors, they're not very easy to find...I've been running used points, file them every now and then. Much of this stuff is not made as well now, as it was years ago, so I try to preserve the old stuff. Chevy, Ford, etc. points won't fit.

    I don't know if you can put the unilite parts in one of the other housings. I wouldn't bother.

    You can probably get a condenser for a Chevy V8 distributor and use it, but again the quality of modern parts is not as good as the old ones. I've resorted to buying axial capacitor from electronics place, such as 0.22 µF at 600v. They don't look the same, they have two wires, no ground lug.
