I haven’t heard much about modern Mallorys. Do they work right out of the box? Feel free to add an entry for them with pros and cons.

I’ve heard of VW and Honda distributors being adapted for the A. That goes under “roll your own” distributors. They all need to be machined to work on the A and no one has published a guide to modifying one.
