‘40 V8 stumbling when accelerating in 1st and 2nd

Thx much to all for advice. Carb is at Charlie’s now. He doesn’t do distribs anymore he said. He also recommended Third Gen. I’m going to look into a Mallory also. I’m a purist but I want to be able to drive my car without a prob !

Thx again.

Send your “original” distributor to Michael at Third Gen, I’ve had the one on my 39 Mercury now for two and a half years, still working as new!! You won’t be disappointed

Go with Third Gen for the distributor rebuild. Send him two. One to run and one for a spare.
