    I ran an old Mallory Dual Point dist with my Weiand Tunnel Ram. I ran 2-Holley 600's which was way to much, go with the 450's. I have a single quad top for the tunnel ram also and agree the single quad top looks strange.
    FYI the tops for the Weiand tunnel ram are the same on the Ford and SBC.

    [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]Does anyone know if the old original points style distributor will fit with this Tunnel ram?
    The one in the car now is the original 1973 unit with a electronic conversion.

    Thanks!

    I ran a stock dist. with electronic conversion with my Offy Tunnel ram,had to be real careful where the vac.diaf.ended up so you could set timing,460s with vac. secondaries,black springs worked good,as stated above,need lots of gear and conv.or run a stick.
