Default Ford Anglia/Prefect/Model A

I have 3 old prefect engines in various states of disassembly. But I don't have the distributor or Carb or Oil Pan. I was told the model A distributor would fit the Prefect. I think it is the 1.7L 10 hp model and is probably from 1948-50.

I would like to get one of these running again but don't know where to find parts. I have tried Small Ford Spares in the UK to no avail and others with the same result.

This English engine and car were a scaled down model A ford. I had one in high school and it was a terrific car but need a lot of attention. I remember one time we packed in 5 adults and 6 small kids and went out for ice cream!

Can anyone help?

Try Berts in Denver, CO USA (See Sticky for information).

Also there were about 4-5 different varities of oil pans that were used on the Model A engine.

Here's a few more to try in UK

http://poppartsplus.com/index.php/parts/electrical/ Have dizzy and recon carb listed.

https://www.ford-aquaplane.co.uk/ If you want to hop them up a bit

If that lot doesn't get you sorted then the things you are after turn up on eBay UK fairly often

The Prefect distributor was a common replacement for the A one as it had centrifugal advance, so no levers and things.

Belcher Engineering looks interesting:

It would help if you filled out your location in your profile, if you are in the USA , call Anglia Obsolete in Vista California...they have everything you need.
