I hear you Linda. But, something your hubby said is just stickin' in my craw. He said <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">&quot;that Mallory dual point ignition just woke that Deuce up&quot;</span></span>. So I got to make sure it is in tip top shape so I can see for myself what a difference it makes [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

You have someone with a distributor machine to adjust the points for you? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

When I worked at a speed shop years ago we always adjuster the four lobe Mallory points on the machine to be sure the cylinders all fired at exactly 90 degree seperation. That's near impossible to do with a feeler guage.

You bet John! I am planning using Shawn Price's (Galvestons) engine builder Denis. He has a Sun set up to dial her in.

Reassembled most of the distributor. Two-piece cap needs to be restored and am waiting for my points to come in.

That's just down-right purty.

So, looking at the bottom photo, is this the second half of that &quot;Double Life&quot; distributor? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Nice work Sir!

Astute observation there DC [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]. My budget couldn't afford the <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">CAT</span></span> version of distributor. That one's got <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">NINE</span></span> lives!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
