Distributor rotation direction
 

What car's distributor can be adapted to a Model A/B engine for CCW rotation and have the advance mechanism work correctly?

Not sure but maybe Jeep. There is also an advance mechanism that works with the original Model A distributor. See https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/b...6340&cat=41666

My Model B distributors seem to display too much variation even when nicely rebuilt. An FSI setup is super expensive. I do not see how I can reverse the Mallory Chevrolet distributor's rotation with respect to the advance mechanism. So, i am seeking a distributor that turned CCW like the Model A/B that may be more precise than the Model B.
