Thanks for the quick reply.  My dad put a mallory distributor in the 70 years ago.  Don't know why.  Problem I have is that the engine turns over but there is not spark.  I had the carburetor checked and it seems to be ok.  I was told it is probably the distributor.  I was also told that a guy can't get points for the mallory anymore.  It was recommended that I replace the mallory with the original delco-remy.  Any suggestions?  
Thanks.
Mark
