Default Re: Distributor Cap Advance Lever Slot

Simply put ............. DO NOT FILE THE OPENING IN THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP BODY!!!!!

If the car has a Two Tooth Steering Column (usually 1930/31) where the outer column tube is held on to the steering box with a clamp just above the top of the box, loosen that clamp as well as the clamp holding the tube inside the car. Now, you can rotate the column tube clockwise or counterclockwise so that the distributor plate lever can be made to hit both stops on the distributor body cap at either end of the spark lever travel at the steering wheel. Once this is done, it is necessary to reset the timing with the timing pin and rotational setting of the distributor cam. Good luck in your endeavors.
