I'm runnning a Mallary dual point in my 68 Schiada flat, had it in since 68 ! Runs great. Put a MSD 6M box and msd dist. in my 77 Sanger ski hydro and have had no problems, gets wet at times but is sealed.

I ran MSD 6a box for 7 + years without a tow in.....
don't forget to use the isolators.
Use a billet MSD. Good stuff. Kinda expensive though..

I'm pretty sure he is referring to the rubber isolators for the mounting screws. Cuts down on the vibration felt by the box.
I'm currently running an MSD billet dist and a 6AL box.
