What is the correct length of the wire that attaches to the A-12148 Distributor bus bar support assembly?

Thanks.

Interesting on the different lengths but I can see why!

In my case (July 1928)...4-1/4 - 4-3/8

Thanks JB!

The variation in lengths are factory corrective actions for troubles with the wire chafing / breaking. The last values of 3-3/16" to 3-5/16" are the ones to use in all years.

Bob,
Errrr, Not Quite.


Study the early vs late owner's manuals to see the early points where mounted at 12 o'clock while later production has them at 4 o'clock....requiring a longer wire for the early location.
