    Mallory distributor parts?

    Try summit racing equipment. I have the Mallory distributor also, single point and I get the points, condenser, and rotors from them.

    Lost bolt

    Use a short length of garden hose and tape it to the end of you’re shop vac hose so it transfers the suction to the short garden hose, after taking the starter out, shove the hose into the flywheel housing and you should be able to suck the bolt out.

So I changed the exhaust manifold gasket thinking it might be an exhaust leak on the # 4 exhaust port making the tick. Put it all back together and the ticking was...

    Car Wax
