Hot Rods vintage mallory numbers

can anyone tell me what a vintage mallory distributor model R type 13BD is? i'm hoping it's for a flathead cadillac ,i've got edmunds heads ,so this will be a nice addition. thanks alot. TOM

 

I have a very old Mallory large, fat , hardcover manual or book. I never looked at the date, so it might be too old or maybe has no ID info. I'd bet it is too old, if yours looks like 1950s or later...

It is buried in some stuff that belongs to an estate...I will try to locate it

 

that would be great

 

I found the manual but it is a troubleshooting book, no numbers or applications....dated 1934.

interesting that one pic looked a lot like the ones used in the modern days.

 

Unfortunately, no help here either. My reference numbers start with distributors for engines built in 49 on up.

 

BRUCE?

 

Here are some scans of some photocopies I received back in 2003 or so... Sorry they are crooked, that's how they were copied... These may help!

 

THANK'S ALOT OLDSPWR, it show's up as 13bz ,a printing error? thanks again.TOM

 

WOW! That's a gold mine for us Mallory aficionados.

Thanks for sharing, oldspwr!

 

can't believe they built that many applications....wow-wee....

 

he's away
