Re: Distributor Cap Advance Lever Slot
Thank you, Jim Mason. And thank you, Terry. I knew you'd know.

Re: Distributor Cap Advance Lever Slot
Be sure to check the width of the advance arm on the upper distributor plate. I bought a new upper plate and found the advance arm was much wider than my original which reduces the available advance travel.

Re: Distributor Cap Advance Lever Slot
Yes, that's a good point, and it will send me in search of an entirely different original Ford blueprint or two, for the breaker plate.

I've wondered about this. If you're using a 2 tooth Gemmer, a small window can possibly work fine if you're never driving at max speeds.

Re: Distributor Cap Advance Lever Slot
Get the column clamp at the box really tight! There is a possibility of the crank handle kicking back while hand starting if the column rotates on the housing and goes unnoticed! The spark lever, even all the way up will still have the timing advanced if the timing is set correctly and the column rotates a little c.c.w. Ask me how I know….Chris, in Boulder

Re: Distributor Cap Advance Lever Slot
I have four, two in cars and two in extra stock. All four have 1” slots. One has Ford script on it, likely a repro. I’ve had these for years and don’t remember where I found ‘em. The two on the cars seem to function as they should.

Re: Distributor Cap Advance Lever Slot
It's good to see the part number, but there are no dimensions on this drawing...
