That is correct. NZDF bought mallory unilite distributors, and sourced 24 V external modules etc to suit.map1275 wrote:You can't buy a NZDF 24 V distributor from Mallory as Mallory never made it.
Mallory made a basic distributor for the Rover/Buick V8 range which the NZDF purchased on mass and then modified to suit their application; external coil and control box, distributor vent, etc.
I haven't found a listing from Mallory for a 24 volt module for their later electronic distributor with incorporated module.
What I don't understand is why anyone would tell you that the modules that were originally designed for the distributor (which are obviously designed for the 3.5 engine) would not have the correct curve for the engine. Mallory can also supply several different weights for the advance mechanism to tune your curve to suit whatever you want.
