Look Who's Back!

I heard of a clearance sale at Super Shops warehouse, (if memory serves, san Bernardino ?) and a friend and i went.
Mallory, one of ss favorite brands, didnt have the best reputation for reliability, but i heard their remans were better, the problems were fixed,and assembly was better. I gambled, and bought a 690 ignition box ( i swear, that thing weighs more than a bowling ball!), tbe matching coil, and a 250gph fuel pump, for pennies on the dollar compared to new.
Guess what. The box and coil are on my 62 today,still working like a champ, for thirty years, and the 250 still works great, gonna put it on my opel when i put the big motor in (454 is never enough)
I guess the guy who told me that reman mallory was good stuff, didnt fib. I dont know for sure, i think that purchase was late eighties.
