1932 Ford V8 distributor

[Ian NZ]

In the Canadian Parts catalog it lists the 18-6019-B front timing gear cover is the same for 1932-38 Ford V8 models is this correct? David Rehors 1932 book has some interesting information on this and 1932 distributors, therefor when an original 1932 distributor is fitted to this cover it should have two gaskets as per photo.The inside round cork gasket would compress and would hold the 1932 distributor spark advance housing in place with the distributor body, otherwise the housing would only be held to the distributor body with the breaker plate adjustment screw. as the later model V8 distributors have a different set up with a flange on the spark advance housing sitting up to the face of the front cover.
The photo shows the face of the spark advance housing which shows the end of the round locating face which is about 3/8' wide, looking at the photo, and apparently on some 1932 distributors it is 3/16" wide, is that correct.
I have modified a later 1934 spark advance housing by turning off the front outside flange so it will fit into the distributor 1932 body as the original housings are hard to obtain.
