I need some help identifing a Mallory distributor. The plate on the side has the model number as 2301105. The problem is, I am needing to find an advance spring kit for this distributor, but all documents that I can find for that model have a different weight set and advance plate then what I have. Any help is appreciated. I.e. a part number for a spring kit, model number of distributor.
I have purchased a spring/advanced curve kit from summit racing. It was not correct. I believe that the springs are to short and the max advance gauges are not correct for the advance that I have(they do not fit).

I think Mr Gasket owns Mallory now. I haven't had any luck obtaining parts from them

Looks like you are gunning for

"2301105 18 degrees @ 2000 RPM"

Should be fairly soft springs to advance quickly, I'd think, but might depend on head.

You DON'T NEED SPRINGS OR WEIGHTS..

The 2 round holes are for moving the arms that hold the springs,..changing the speed
of the advance.

You also need the "key" too set the amount of advance,..the 2 arms with a screw in each,..the arm end fits in the slot. There 2 styles of slots for the key,..you need the
round style..
