The original owner of my '63 W200 was a gadget freak. Now that I've trashed the compass and altimeter on the dash and removed a few miles of extra wire, I'm getting into the engine.

The coil on this truck is a big, squared off Mallory model. The distributor looked different, and a closer examination reveals that it's a Mallory Dual Point distributor. Natch, it needs a new cap, rotor, and wires. Can I just modify regular wires to fit the special cap?

And....is there really any benefit to using the dual point distributor or is it more hassle than it's worth?

Thanks again,
