Re: Questions about 1941 distributors.
The Fords pre 1949 V8 vehicles (1948 for commercials/trucks) generally have a wire wound resistor some place under the dash on a micarta circuit board along with a circuit breaker for the lighting systems. The resistance is a ballast for the coil and is in the ignition circuit to the "Bat" terminal on the coil. The distributor or "Dist" terminal is connected to the distributor condenser then on to the breaker points.
If you have a vehicle that is changed over to 12-volt negative ground then other mods will be required.
