distributor interchange

i bought a new mallory unilite for really cheap for my 351w, but when that project got sent up river, i decided to drop the cleveland in my 55, i thought i read on it that the 351w will work if i use a cleveland gear, i have a 460 and a few 351w stock dist also and they all look really similar.

I'm not shure on the Windsor to cleavland swap, but the 351C,429,460 are the same. this may not help but i thought i'd toss in anyway. DW

Changing the 351W Unilite gear to a 351C-460 gear should be all you need

I haven't done it myself but heard it from others who have.

If its a mechanical advance (no vacuum can) then it done iside the distributor, try going to mallory's web site and see if you can download there instruction book. DW
