That's another thing I liked about the Mallory. I had it on my car for 12 years without any issues. I thnik it would still have been fine it I would have bought another Mallory distributor. Three days after I put the MSD distributor in the Chevelle the Mallory box went out. |

I bought an Accel Coil in 1972 and used it until last year. It still works. I bought a NEW MSD coil and it only lasted 1 month. Yep, Accel and Mallory made great stuff--still do.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

Almost forgot about this post. So we got me dad's car running and took her out months ago and he could not get it into 4th gear. We adjusted everything and double checked everything and nothing. So my dad called the outfit that he bought the tranny from about 9 months prior and they said send it back and we will look at it, no questions asked. Well about 2 months go by before they find out that a syncro was bad (they were at shows and the tranny guy was on vacation so it too that long for them to get at it). Once they confirmed shipping address for returning the tranny it took them weeks to actually send it. we finally got it in this weekend and everything hooked up and adjusted and... wait for it... wait for it... we have all 4 gears now. Of course when you fix one problem another one pops up. The car is runnig REAL rich and had a few nice backfires when we went down the street. Question for everyone is... do you know a decent shop that me dad can take it to up here in north OC that can just tune her up a bit and make sure everything is running right?

Talk to enkeivette. He lives only a few miles from you, has an LM2 and knows a bit about tuning carbs.

What carb? Don't take it anywhere yet. 
Holley, Autolite, Performer???
Remember, FORDS are what I love, what I do.

We need to get you up to Adam's house - you could probably REALLY help a lot on the Mach. We generally are washing cars up there so maybe we'd be willing to wash the Versa for you as trade
