That cap is unique to Mallory, I don't think a regular cap will fit.  As I remember, the part shown in the picture is sort of clamp to hold the wires in the lower part of the cap.  I don't know if Mallory still makes them or not.

The cap shown is an old (really old) cap. The only place to get a replacement may be something like ebay. You might google "Mallory Cap" to see if there are any dealers that may have another.



As far as a replacement distributor, any YBlock distributor 55 and later will fit, but the 57 and later ones are the better units. Stay away from the big truck units as they may have a governor on them??



Rebuilds are available here for less than 100US$. If you have any one to contact here they can get you one.

I had a Mallory dual point dist. in an old 63 Ford. It was an  FE motor 427, but the cap looked similar to that one. It might be the same cap. Just something else you can check.

I think all the Mallory caps of each style are the same, regardless of application.

Is this what you are looking for?

If the picture didn't load, try going to:

It may be for a flathead but it might work...

The early mallory distributors with 2 piece cap had very wide lugs and mounting clips, some had long thin ones with tighten down screws to secure clips and  all the later ones had narrow snap on clips. regards Aussiebill.
