Recently I have been rebuilding two Model-B 4-cyl. distributors with the help of Renner's Corner. Off of eBay I have acquired a couple of NOS Ford "B"
point sets. Neither of the two points contact arms have a steel spring "strap", correct name unknown. That exerts pressure on the contact arm
to rub the cam and momentarily touch the opposite point contact. I'm guessing the B "strap" has a different part number of its own? Original Model-A point sets are similar, but have a built on steel strap. Like 99% of all other car point sets. After looking at the original Model-A points arm I can butcher it. And apply the "A" steel spring strap to the "B" points arm. Any thoughts or experience fellow Barn-memebers on this matter?
