I need to get a complete ignition system for my duster and was looking at the MSD billet and 6AL box. While browsing through my summit catalog I saw that they have a pretty good package deal on a Mallory comp SS 32 with either a hyfire 6A or 6AL box with wires and coil.
Anybody have recommendations on both of these? Really makes no difference to me as I have had a mallory unilite in the past which seemed to be a very good piece.
Let me know your opinions on both. Thanks in advance!

The Mallory mechanical advance is infinitely adjustable from zero (locked) to 28 degrees.
Are you referring to the comp s/s 32 having this capability?

I can't say for sure but I think the summit billet distributors are made by mallory, though I don't know which exact mallory model they are. They use the same advance mechanism (with plastic tabs used to set), cap and rotor (the rotor has a mallory logo on it), and they have the same instruction sheet as is found on mallory's sites for the YH advance mechanism. Same wire colors too I have one on a 440 and I'm happy with it, have had it apart a couple times to change the springs and advance limit. It comes with springs and charts to choose when the advance starts and when it'll end, based on how much advance you have adjusted it for. I have mine setup with ~15 degrees advance, and have initial about 21 degrees btdc, it is all advanced by like 1900 RPM, and starts advancing at about 1200 RPM with the springs i put in it (1 brown, 1 gray).

I just looked up the MSD unit and it looks like a chevy distributor for a chrysler!
I guess either will do a good job. Decisions decisions..
The very first MSD distributors I saw were for Chevy and were actually Chevy point distributors modified to accept a Ford Duraspark pickup and reluctor. It kind of grew from there I guess.
