Re: mallory ignition

[<hofs@domain.elided>]

Hello everybody,
Great news. I just talked to Mallory, they are not out of business and 
say they have no intention of going out of business. They are aware that 
their name got linked to Supershops, aren't sure why, and what happened 
to Supershops had no effect on them. 

Whoever it was that needed the Mallory distributor should be able to get 
back to Summit and tell them to order it from Mallory. 

Wow am I relieved. It was more than a IH thing with me. I used to race a 
little and Mallory was a really important part of my fooling-around life 
at the time. Besides that, they're a part of the history of the 
automobile and we need to have some of our history stay alive. Now if 
only Howard would tell us that Cord really never went out of business and 
is ......

About a month ago, I put on some Mallory plug wires on my Terra and with 
the kit came the neatest little plug wire stripper that I ever saw. 
Probably cost Mallory about $.05, but made my job so much easier. I 
thought at the time- Mallory has always had class. By the way, I didn't 
like Mallorys plug boots, I think Jacobs are much better as they take any 
shape you need for them to take and seal at the top where the wire comes 
out. I know you could do that with the Mallorys but they don't suggest it 
much less give you the stuff to do it. 
Make up your mind, Hofstetter, do they have class or not? Certainly more 
class than if they had died. Of course the legends about them

Hot dog!
