Totally left field - I have a Mallory Unilite 4756701 - with a standard
coil - can I fit a box like an MSD6 or similar?

>>>Ah, very interesting and good to know, thanks! So, is it basically
like a standard distributor with a Pertronix? Same kind of magic happening
under the cap?
I've got a ready-to-run under the hood of my GT350, with no box. I think
I'll run it like that for now and see how it works before upgrading to an
MSD box as well.
Thanks for the insight!
Mike
