Waldo, ~ Thanks for your reply, I kind of felt a little low from some of the earlier responses. But I'm not sure that there would be much, if any additional costs involved. Mallory already makes a distributor for the 235/261 but it is without the adjustable vacuum on it, (part number 5018002). Now they have made one for Classic Truck's article with the adjustable vacuum. So they have already invested their engineering and have it dialed in. They now know what machining needs to be done and everything.
As much as I would like to see more parts for the older sixes I am loosing respect for the MrGasket, Mallory company because the gentleman I had referred to in my first post had contacted me and ask me to remove his name and email address and his phone number from my post. He says this is personal information. Ok (???)
I wonder if he is listed in his local phone book. Hummm
Anyway it sounds like to me that he doesn't want to be bothered.
(removal has been done)
Anyway, I think I will drop my quest for this distributor because unlike the praises that Classic Truck's article gave them, I don't think the MrGasket, Mallory Co. cares at all.
And Steve, sorry I questioned your opinion.

(this is just my opinion --- and, hey, I could be wrong.) ha!
