Slick 60's

Hey everyone,

I'm searching for a Mallory distributor for a 240 or 300 Ford that has the mechanical tach drive on the distributor.

I know they made them at one time, but don't have a part number or a picture of this elusive critter.

Thanks for searching your parts bin, old parts trucks, or anywhere else you may see old distributors.

They used 300 fords in a LOT of things
I'm wondering if you might be able to find one
that was on an agriculture application
like a tractor / combine / swather .....
They also used them on irrigation pumps ,
Generators , welders etc etc ....

What Pat says is true. I drove a Pea Combine in 1975 that had a 300 six as it's power plant

Thank you both, I will keep an eye out in this neck of the woods for old farm equipment, welders, airport tugs.

If the tach drive is the main thing that you are looking for, you could do the same thing I did to use a mechanical tach. I used a 90* 2 to 1 ratio reducer mounted to the front of the crank shaft driven by a split pin inserted into the balancer bolt. I could send you a picture if you like.

Koolkat, send a pic or post one.

Thanks, Bradshaw
