Harmon Collins dual point Distributor
 

I need some help, I purchased a bunch flathead parts, and found a Harmon Collins dual point Distributor with dual Mallory Condensers, The Distributor is in very good condition, points both look very good. Missing the name plate and of course the expensive rotor and cap. I have no use for this as I am running an 8BA. I have no Idea of the approx value ?? I plan on selling if there is much value to lower the cost of the rest of the parts, any help would be appreciated.

Not just a dual point but actually a dual coil distributor. I am not up to speed on current valuation but the "dual coil" is worth considerably more than a "dual point.

Just an FYI...the HC rotors are being reproduced, and the outer cap that's currently being offered by Bob Drake for use on the Ford crab distributor will also work on HC, but some firing order numbers would need to be corrected when used on HC.
I have recently seen these complete HC distributors selling in the range of $400.00 to $500.00.

These give 70degrees of dwell when set up properly.

thanks for your reply but you say dual coil, I only see one place for the coil to plug in, I know that I don't have the cap but am I missing something.

those two round cylinder things which are upside down are coils. there a complete one on ebay just now for $299 buy it now.

Re: Harmon Collins dual point Distributor
 

One coil goes to center cap and the other coil goes to the outter cap .......

yes,
it won't fit an 8BA I would like to trade it for one that does. Any one know where I can buy a name tag for Harmon Collins.

Re: Harmon Collins dual point Distributor
 

So that's what they're talking about when they say someone has big brass ones? Condensors?

The Harmon Collins distributors for the later engines are less common than those for the early engines like what Cobbie has.
