Yeah, I wanted the Jones 4" tach, which is mechanical drive, so we had to source a tach drive distributor. I believe we used a Mallory 26 Series (don't hold me to this, I'll look it up tomorrow at the office) that we upgraded with an electronic conversion kit, which, I was told, made it equivalent to a Mallory Unilite. As I recall, we did it this way because no one had the electronic Ford Fairlane 38 Series Unilite on the shelf. Best bet is to call Mallory, they were very helpful.

fire bottle...
Jeffy,
Where did you mount the fire system bottle?
Did you use a 5 or 10 pound capacity bottle?
Where are the outlet nozzles...how many...?
Thanks
Pete

Jeff,
What can you tell me about your remote oil filter assembly? Looks like something I could use for my soon to be FIA (Da Bunnies state, more details in last January  ).
Thanks,
Bill S.

Congratulations on your find!! Can't wait to hear the details.
That was installed to control the flow to the oil cooler; I expect that under normal conditions the flow will be completely shut off: many have complained that the engine doesn't warm up adequately on the road with the oil cooler functioning. Peter P. said to just cover up the front of the oil cooler with cardboard, but that obviously won't do!

It is behind the dash where the heater would go (don't have one). Sorry, don't know about the nozzles! Need to ask Doug...
