23, 24, 25 and 26 Series are mechanical advance point style distributors. These distributors are available for a wide variety of engines produced worldwide.

The 27 Series is also a point style distributor with a mechanical advance, but it includes vacuum advance which helps part throttle driveability.

32, 81 and 84 Series distributors have magnetic triggers and are designed to be used with HyFire capacitive discharge ignitions systems. They also have mechanical advance. These are especially popular for racing applications. However, they cannot run with just a coil since they lack the ability to fire the coil directly.

37, 38, 45 and 46 Series distributors use Mallory's Unilite® module and can trigger either a HyFire capacitive discharge ignition or be run with just a coil. They have mechanical advance, but no vacuum advance. These distributors are available for a wide variety of engines produced worldwide.

The 47 and 86 Series also use Mallory's Unilite® triggering system and the other features of the group above, but they have vacuum advance along with mechanical advance.

50 Series distributors use Mallory's MBI (magnetic breakerless ignition) triggering system and can trigger either a HyFire capacitive discharge ignition or be run with just a coil. They have mechanical advance, but no vacuum advance. These distributors are available for a wide variety of engines produced worldwide.

The 42, 57 and 87 Series also use Mallorys's MBI triggering system and the other features of the group above, but they also have vacuum advance along with mechanical advance.

The 75 and 85 Series are based on GM's 4 pin HEI and offer probably the most self-contained ignition possible, with the ignition coil in the distributor cap. That makes it a simple 1-wire hook-up.

The 78, 79 and 80 Series are designed to work with factory fuel injection systems used on popular Ford and GM V8 engines. The output of the distributor works the factory computer system making them the ideal plug-and-play upgrade on these engines.

The 61 and 95 Series work with popular aftermarket fuel injection systems such as those offered be Edelbrock and others. These distributors use a Hall-effect triggering system. Check with the FI system's manufacturer to make sure the distributor is suitable.
