Hey old guys like me! I found this old guy at a boneyard and can't find a year or appl. for it. I called mallory and they say it is too old for them to id it! (WHAT) We used these in the late 60's on cars and this is just cool!! I did not see a zip code on the tag so I think it is before 1966. What do you people think.
I think it needs a new cap. :)

For sure the blue tag is older Mallory, they went to the red tags sometime in the 60's ... Here is a red tag dual point distributor, late 60's vintage ...
I'm pretty sure this is from a Ford Y block. I have a customized 54 Ford convertible with a 1957Y block and I had a Mallory Mag Spark dist. on it a few years ago. I converted it to electronic and it was always acting up,so I switched to MSD. Ford used Y blocks from 54 thru early 60's in cars and in trucks thru 1964. If the bottom of the shaft is splined, it drives the oil pump and it's a Y block.

in the bottom of the shaft, it has a 6 point hole that a pin or shaft might go into or that goes on the pump.
