acquired a vintage mallory dual point dizzy today, marked model ZC, Type 275 A, I know it is for an 8BA or 8CM as it has the extra shaft extension, my question is--are points-condensor-rotor-cap still available, althought it looks in pretty good condition in the future it may need these parts if I want to use it or is it just "wall art"?? Something Bubba could bring back to life?

I sent mine to Bubba about a year ago and he went through it and re-did it. The price was quite reasonable. As for parts, I got lucky and found a good cap on eBay for $45.00. Lately, however, the guys with caps seem to want $200-$300 for used ones. There was a NOS Mallory listed for $1595; I didn't even add it to my "watch list".

I believe most everything for that distributor is still available although they can be a bit pricey. I saw a NOS cap on Ebay for about $160 and other suppliers have points, condenser, rotor, etc.

See what number is on the points sets. If it's 24205, they are extremely hard to find and pricey.

I've been searching E-Bay for them for a long time. Have not found any yet. I like Bubba's post. Will be contacting him.

finally looked into the dizzy and the points have a # 24875 A on them. how do you tell how old this distributer is ?

Old Ford Addict · 04-21-2014, 07:51 PM

I run them old Mallory’s in a few motors.
I pick up complete ones for 20 - 40 bucks at swap meets just for parts because they all use the same caps - rotors ………….

The 24875 contacts are the most common units for the Mallory YC distributor..
Typically all these need is a good clean up inside and out. The inside gets gummed up ( even on a new one in the box). We clean the parts in a ultra sonic cleaner and relube and most are ready to run...

thanks Bubba, I will send it to you shortly for a clean up -check out.
