does anyone know where to get a generator for our 56 for interceptor 292 185hp?
Also can we update the distributor? if so to what?

I have several generators for the Y-Block Interceptors. A 56 should be 12Volt negative ground,unless it was a '55 engine.
I am quite sure Petronix makes a conversion for the Mallory distributor. some of the Interceptor distributors that I have are Autolite and I am sure Petronix makes a conversion for the Autolite. Only problem I know of with the electronic conversions is that you have to have full voltage for them to work, so if your battery is low, you probably won't start. Not a good thing if you are somewhere and have been running some accessories and run the battery voltage down a bit. |

The Pertronix I installed doesn't use a balast
resistor; thus recieves full voltage. Just one
less part to maintain & one less part to leave
you stranded! |
