Re: Mallory dual point on an 8ba
The condensers they sell with the unit have a very bad reputation. The points that Mallory sells are not so great either. Look at the alignment of the contacts. I found it was impossible to align them so I replaced them with Eichlin points (#CS 2300) from NAPA.
Mallory says they're curved for the flathead, but if you want to change the curve you need to buy an extra kit with new springs. Unless you have a distributor machine, recurving takes a ton of trial and error.
