OK, the dizzy fits into the engine, but I can't tell if it really connects or not. I measured it and the stock dizzy shaft is 1" longer than the Mallory shaft. I looked in my reprint of the 1951 California Bill's Chevy Speed Manual and it shows a pic of a dizzy exactly like mine, so I'm thinking that maybe this Mallory is for a 216 or early 235. Were the 216/early 235 dizzys shorter than the later 235s?

Cali Bill (1951, 1954), Huntington (1951), and Santucci all suggest using either a Mallory dual dizzy OR using a dual point conversion kit for the stock dizzy. Does anyone know where I can get a kit? Santucci says they're easy to find at swap meets, but I've heard that before. I've been to many HUGE swaps, including all Chevy meets, and not seen any inline parts.

Thanks,
Joe
