Should one be concerned with buying these old MSD / Mallory electronics at swap meets? I'd like a full Day 2 setup for the Nova, but honestly don't know what I'm looking for - or what to look out for!

The cool thing with the MSD is you can send it to MSD and they will upgrade it to the modern internals. It is just a matter of finding a nice case.

Nos Mallory coils are still available and work just fine, 2875s I think. The distributors are rebuildable and are very well made and durable.

more people in those days ran the Mallory stuff than the MSD box. remember Day-2 is "street" and not track only. MSD was the hot set up for the strip in those days. A worked single point stock Chevy distributor and the black Mallory coil had my nova running 11.50's at 118 mph pretty consistently.

Went over to a local friends garage today as he had decided to part with some items. Picked up a set of McCreary tires (free), Nova L88 hood........and check out the sun tach parts with original Sun batteries!

Is the three gauge panel cast aluminum? L88 Nova hood is sweet. Nice score.
Thanks,
Marty
