mallory double life duel point YC-365-HP? - 12/26/10 07:44 PM

any one know if they make a 1-piece cap with male or female cap terms?

would like to repalce it to run better fatter wires

can only run a 7mm wire from the looks of it and I dont like the way the wire goes in the cap on the pointed studs

I posted this on the Q&A board,but thought some one over here will know for sure

TIA

NAPA has them all day long, female type. Looks like a Prestolite MoPar cap but fits the DoubleLife Mallory. I think I have the part number... Yep- Echlin#MA5. They can order it!

Lemme see, I have a YC365 here in the shop...

Works perfect with the button on mine!!! Our nostalgia rails (one MoPar "B" and one Buick 455) use the DoubleLife's converted with PerTronix Ignitors and we use the old type cap for the nostalgia look. I got the regular cap I told you about to go in an '80s truck application!

The Ignitor conversion works great! We turn 7200+ with ours in the MoPar powered FED. Had it in a 383 (+.060"-395") and now the 471" stroker, ran 5.50 with the 395 and now runs 4.90s with the 471. No problems, we use a HyFire Mallory box and Accel CDI coil. You can use it with no box to fire a regular coil! Awesome setup, glad I could help... RB

good to know it will go high enuff to float my valves though
