1948 Ford Deluxe Distributors

A legend returns – the tried and true Mallory Unilite Distributor line is back! The easy three wire hookup of the Unilite makes running a stock coil, a Mallory performance coil and even a Mallory HyFire CD ignition a snap. Supplied with a quality cap and rotor, the Mallory Unilite also provides a fully adjustable mechanical advance to dial in the perfect timing curve for a multitude of engine combinations. The Unilite features a compact housing that lends itself well to applications where space is a premium due to tight firewall clearance or blower applications.

• Electronic ignition with a one-piece self-contained optical pickup and module
• Quick and simple 3 wire hookup
• Includes cap and rotor with brass terminals
• Can be used standalone with high performance coils such as the Mallory Promaster Series or add on more power with HYFIRE CD ignition controls

• Fully adjustable mechanical advance

• Strong .500″, QPQ coated distributor shaft guided by a ball bearing for long life and great performance
