FWIW:

Because of most travels over 200 miles, I carry an extra completely rebuilt and timed A distributor in my rear trunk, just in case there is a problem with my completely rebuilt and installed B distributor; hence, because of this interchangeable set up, I have no original A cable clamp provided for my original A pop-out switch's cable.

Also, I custom designed and made a threaded PVC pipe receptor with PVC end plug, (painted black), clamped to a piece of neatly cut engine green sheet metal to receive the threaded cylindrical end of the original A pop-out switch.

This securely clamped PVC pipe connector has an interior brass threaded contact stud penetrating the PVC plug, with an electrical switch wire extending from this stud nut electrical connection to the original metal distributor tab located on the rear of this original B distributor.

I can change from an all original B distributor to an all original A distributor in about 5 minutes, that is, without the original A cable's clamp secured and mounted on the head stud.

Also carry an original Zenith spare A carburetor to instantly change out with my installed Zenith B carburetor.

Can get "close" to original in a few minutes, except for my (2) blade "aluminum" fan, Police Head, lightened flywheel, and counterbalanced crank, look alike 6 V voltage regulator, whitewalls, etc., etc.
