The Mallory 4554101 does not seem to be available, what distributor is desirable that is currently available?

I moved the to 123Ignition Bluetooth Tunable distributor. You can simply program in the advance values that match the Mallory.

Often you can find a points mallory redtop for sale and then just convert it to a unilight or use a pertronix.
Another method is to keep it points and use a MSD, this method the points will last ages because it no longer has high voltage through them.

Mallory got bought out by Accel a few years back. I think all the Unilite dizzies are now sold under the Accel name. Or at least they were a few years back. No idea if quality is the same. Or not - google can't find anything now. Last time I looked was about 4 years ago.

I had read that MSD acquired Mallory, but a Google search found this article which indicates that MSD acquired Accel which had Mallory.

From the MSD website, Mallory distributors, but no VW Type 4 distributers:
