Default Mallory Distributor

I am running a Mallory distributor on my 48 pan. Saturday night the cover screws vibrated out and the cover came loose. One of the wires was broken. I fixed the wire but I think the module is also bad now. The bike will fire but it won't run. I was wondering if any of you might know where I can find a replacement module. The part number on the one I have is 6001M.

Thanks,
Woolly

I have not used the mallory-



but if you need a replacement sensor unit ( 12 and 6 volt) inside the stock points cover:

which I use on my '53.

It is flawless and worth every penny.

I tried mallory but they don't sell direct. They did say autozone should be able to get it for me. Going to try them tomorrow. If not I will give jegs a call. Thanks for the help.

I contacted Mallory again. They told me the part number was now A605. I then tried autozone but no luck. I ended up ordering off Mallory's website. $102 total. I hope this takes care of the problem. I tried to start her today and its still doing the same thing. It will fire and thats it.
