Distributor Hold Down
 

I have what I believe to be a Mallory electronic distributor. Im looking for the hold down device that clamps around dist. Shaft and then sits in the head with a pin. Anyone know where I can get the right one?.

I'm afraid if I just use the set screw - the dist. Will walk on me- throwing it out. As you can see my head is aluminum so I don't want to put a lot of torque on that set screw.

Thanks

Yes, Tom makes them for WICO mags which have the same shaft (like all Model A and B's) size. Sent you a PM with Tom's phone number. They are 50$ Postage payed US.

With Minervas' Mallory, I just ground a SHARP point on the SET SCREW. NEVER came loose!

Would be better to have the clamp with pin and machine a groove around the shaft like the A distributor. Call Tom, he has done several.
