That blue/red thing is the first hint on Mallory's about whether the cap is marine at least for the genuine Mallory/MSD stuff.
I've seen other colors like tan, black from other outfits and had to look to see if there was a hole. The marine ones have a thin rubber gasket glued into the cap too and the red ones don't. Hate it when they send the wrong part especially when you tell them it's marine. I've seen people fill the hole with epoxy and use a gasket to make it function the same as the marine cap  . |

Ok thanks. Yeah i was actually jist searching to see if the dist itself was marine and noticed the marine ones all have blue colored caps. Odd because when i called MSD and ordered a cap last year i did tell them it was a marine application and thats what they sent me.
Good to know! |

Can't help but notice that the Mallory is a marine distributor with an automotive cap.
It has a vent hole in it that you can see in about the 8 o'clock position in the picture showing the underside of the cap. It's visible if you know where to look for it. When it's installed the hole is sorta hidden by one of the hold down clamps.for the cap The marine ones don't have the vent hole in the cap so that they can meet those pesky USCG regs The housing is definitely marine with the brass vent screens. |

Ok I deleted the original description to the msd because I threw it on the lathe and spun it with some 30wt oil on the bushings and it loosened right up. It's defiantly good to go. Just was sitting in storage about 6 years so got a little dusty.
The 8360 was a designated dyno unit so does not have a ton of hours on it but the time it does have on it were high rpm. The gears on both units are in greathe shape. I couldn't fiND the cap but I'm pretty sure I have it. Here are pictures. I also have a set of msd 8.5 superconductors that are used, no leaks. One boot has a melted spot from a header. $40 for the set with one of the distributors. Coil wire is not msd. Msd     Mallory I put new wires on the mallory and cleaned it up a bit. Cap and rotor are excellent shape.    [

I have two used distributors for sale. Both are for gm, works on std or Rev rotation 454. Should fit small block too.
Msd 8360 (not marine version) Bolt in rtr 3 wire no controller needed. $150 Mallory YL624MV. Was a dual point but has pertronix kit installed. The mallory is a bolt in ready to go, bushings are good, cap and rotor have about 20 hours on them. $100 unsure hours of this unit. It spins very freely has slight up/down play. I will take pictures today and try and post them up tomorrow |
