A friend of mine did this '39 coupe and I will say, he did a good job. No shortcuts...

Just sent my early 51 and 52 Cadillac distributors to Charles Schwindler in New York. He is going to modify/update them with later fly weights and vacuum advance to use manifold vacuum. I will try to post some photos when I get them back.

Did you find your bell housing to do the install ? Years ago I bought one believing it would fit my '52 engine , but it may be for the later engine that you have . I'm still looking for an early style adapter . Maybe we could trade ?

Mike, that was a very nice 39 coupe. A lot of people looked at it and it sold. Someone got a very nice car.
