Default '36 dist equip Q..

Here's two pics of a dist that I've got. I'm trying to get correct dist/parts to have a rebuilder to setup for my '36 stock engine.
What year(s) will the pictured dist work on, and is it 'correct' for my '36

That is a little later dizzy. 37-41.

I believe there is actually 2 different coils for 36. Early 36 and late 36.

Oh it will work with the correct 37-41 inner caps,but sounds like he wants a 36 dist on it.. I have both styles of 36 if hes so inclined. Early or late 36. ken ct.

Hey Mike,
Yeah, I have two 'inner' caps that are numbered starting with 68- !
So, it will work, but is there a better working model out of the three, i.e.- early '36;late '36 or the model that I've pictured ?
BTW- I'm for the 'best' running equipment, just thot that I had to use original model. I also have a complete crab, but do not want to all extra hassle to use that right now(diff plate or diff cover,etc).

There are adapter plates out there to go from the helmet(3bolt) to the crab(2bolt). But maybe that's what you meant about the dizzy plate.

Hey Tinker,
Thanks! A fordbarn bud tells me that he has the adaptor necessary to ease the hassle ! Hassle in my case , is knowing limits with current circumstances..not from lack of initiative! Young at heart...makes is not absolutely moot,eh!
