Modern distributor for '38 Su8

Posted by occaswright On 2011/12/11 23:26:41

We're finishing a restoration of a '38 Su8 Coupe roadster. We've made a number of hidden upgrades on the car for touring and drive-ability. With the '38 distributor cap being so expensive, is there a well-tested modern replacement distributor that anyone might recommend. I know Delco from the era is used, but I'm thinking even more modern, such as Mallory or Accel. This would be preferably be a point-based rather than electronic set-up, but either will be considered. It would be used as a quick replacement unit for touring, and save the use of the original unit. Any recommendations?'
