Mallory to Pertronix conversion

[Anonymous]

I looked through the old posts and I know that some of you have done this, I have a dual point mechanical advance distributor and want to install a Pertronix Ignitor II, any clue on which kit I use?

And on that note, if I buy the '66 200 engine will my Mallory fit from the '64 170?

I know I've asked this before, I know it's all been answered before, I think it was lost in the "Great Crash of 2002"

Thanks,
Mike

A little research, looks like if I have the right distributor the Pertronix 9ML-161 would work $90 or a Mallory MAL-560 or MAL-561 for around $110, anyone have any thoughts on which would be better?

Also anyone dealt with these places;

BTW to answer my own question the dizzy should transfer over.

When I replaced he guts of my Mallory on the stupid little race car I called pertronix with the model number of the distributor and they provided the kit # for the ignitor II that fit, I offered to by direct from them, but thety told me they weren't really set up for retail and I should go to a retail store- they actually recommended going to Summit or the like for best price

Summit is a good place to deal with. Lowest prices on most items, price match guarantee.

Why not go DS2? I just swapped to DS2...Real easy.

I've got the Mallory and its always worked well with my set-up, I just want to eliminate the points.
