can I use a big block distributor in a small block 318. is there an extension for the shaft. I just bought a mallory dual point at a swap meet and found out its for a big block

 

Not Possible !

 

chrysler makes a hole electronic system for small and big block engines, at least they did. it is much better than point dist. its a copy of the stock system they made in 1973. ill try to find the number. ill get back to you.

 

i found this. summit has them but so do other people. summit allso has race models that are billet, they are very expensive, you do NOT need that one. you need mopar performance p3690426. for, 273, 318, 340, 360 kit has all the parts you need. $225.95. the people that have the older cars think that adding the electronic kit does NOT lower the value of a mopar. hint get two extra ballast resistors. put them in the glove box, the first time the weather gets cold or hot, and it doesnt start , swap the resistor first. it is the best deal around. just think no more setting dwell angle.

 

aside from the length problem the dist rotates the opposite direction so no advance !!
Try Mancini racing , they have kits

 

Mancini also has kits to run a RB block distributor in a 400 or 383.

 

Sounds like a good candidate for Craigslist.

 

yea a dual point is already a tuner and the electronic magnetic pickup is better,
i installed the Mallory ss distributor i wanted some thing with less separate parts with the proper Mallory coil i have also eliminated the ballast-resistor, also i love this simple clean combo.
