Andy: 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.

Hi, years back there was a replacement one piece dizzy cap to replace the old 2 piece mallory cap, i think it was ECHLIN brand P/No MA5 and rotor was MA7. However i dont know if they would be still available these days bu its a chance. Best regards aussiebill.

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. Dan

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

Andy Is this what you are looking for? If the picture didn't load, try going to: http://web.mac.com/northcoastrnc/iWeb/North%20Coast%20RnC/Flatheads%20Forever%20....html 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.
