Thanks Bruce, I pretty much agree. I’d like to make it work with what’s there, but perhaps that’s a too-tall order. So much of the Model A stuff I’ve purchased in the past (mainly body panels and things like latches, etc) has left so much to be desired in terms of quality and fit, that I’ve been unsure of where to even attempt to source all of the original type distributor parts for this.

The points plate that’s in the distributor now is a Nu-rex, and I reached out to them to ask about the advance arm hitting the distributor body. They make no mention of that on their website. I have read a couple of other posts that suggest that “modern” points are “in the wrong place”, but nobody really goes into detail on how they are so, or what they did to correct it.
